I'm not advocating UVF, but very few new feature specs going into LTS 
releases.  If it's already in upstream (Debian or upstream-upstream -- 
the individual projects) and it is ready for prime time, then by all 
means put it in a LTS release.

For instance Java with the Sun JVM 5 or 6 isn't working for me with 
azureus in Edgy and there seems to be a version mismatch of the gtk-java 
packages:

True.  How can we encourage more bug fixing?
