Ubuntu based on Debian sid?

[Erik Bågfors]

Debian sid was frozen, then ubuntu was created from it.  It was
probably frozed when 0.5.5 was the sid version.

I think a pretty safe way to update to stuff from sid is to use
apt-get -b source whatever... but that's also unsupported (as well as
universe)

Regards,
Erik
