Why getting these packages from the sarge distribution?

 acroread

   Linked against a buggy (double-free) zlib, it has been dropped from woody.
   It's still useful.


 bbdb

   Woody only contains 2.34.cvs20020418-2, and I wanted at least 
   2.34.cvs20020418-3, which contains bbdb-pilot-jwz.el.


 doc-rfc

   Package has been removed from woody because of some minor licensing issues.
   The thought police stroke again!


 realplayer

   Was removed from woody for unknown reasons.


 jpilot-mail

   The woody version of these is too old to deal with recent Palm devices.


 sylpheed-doc

   We have the latest sylpheed 0.8.1 in the backported-from-sarge section.
   This is the doc that goes with it.


 gtkhtml

   Needed by evolution 1.0.8 (in backported-from-sarge).
   Contains the fix for DSA 710-1.


 freetype

   Needed by ghtkhtml


 jigdo

   The woody version cannot build woody CD images. Gah. Must be smart Q&A.
   Include version is 0.6.8, which can build Debian CD images from (say)
   http://debian.fifi.org/debian-cd/ .


 dpatch

   New sarge package, required for backporting some new packages (eg.
   cdrecord).


 dh_kpatches
 kernel-patch-uml
 kernel-patch-skas

   Needed for user-mode-linux with recent kernels.


 makedev

   Uml-utilities (in the backported-from-sarge section) requires a newer
   version of makedev.


 ucf

   Clamav (in the backported-from-sarge section) requires a new version of
   ucf.


 eximdoc4

   Exim4 is in backported-from-sarge.


 kernel-package

   User-mode-linux's kernel packages cannot be compiled by woody's
   kernel-package.


 tramp

   Woody's tramp is old and broken.


 dbs

   Needed for backporting some packages (eg. man2html).


 autoconf
 autoconf2.13
 automake1.8

   Something more recent than woody...
