I know universe is unsupported. I am just curious if packages get
updated when there are problems (of course if there is someone willing
to do that). So far I haven't seen any program from universe on my pc
being updated so I was just wondering if it happens at all. Couldn't
find much information on the wiki about it, but if you can point me to
a page where it is explained, that would be great.

Would do that if I had the time... don't have it at the moment. Maybe
later, the next few weeks I will be focussed on finishing my exams :-)
