I totally agree.  Not only that, it's the packages that we havent
modified in the past that are most likely to be frozen.  Then if and
when they break we will have to fix them, without having the
experience of worked on them in the past.

The debian maintainers know these packages better than we do, so fixes
will be easier for them.
