Somewhat similar problems occur in Debian Testing. I have a number of 
packages on my home machine in the "Obsolete Packages" category that 
have been replaced in the apt repositories, but other packages i have 
installed still depend on specific versions and haven't been updated 
yet. On my Debian Stable machines (which i use on servers and on my 
computer at work) those little problems don't seem to occur.
