Since etch stable is two years old now, I really was not expecting the
newest amavisd-new to continue to work within its boundries (aside
from what may happen in backports), but I _was_ concerned that lenny
would freeze at Mail::DKIM version 0.30.1. If that were to happen,
2.6.x may not install without issue on the future lenny stable system.
This same type of situation happened with 2.4.x and the former sarge
stable branch. Amavisd-new 2.4.x needed Compress::Zlib 1.35 or newer,
but this package did not make it to sarge stable. As a result, if one
were to install 1.35 or newer from testing or unstable in order to
satisfy amavisd-new, gross changes to the system would occur (similar
to the ones above - only more dramatic). Sure, there were workarounds
to prevent this from happening, but it would be nice if workarounds
are not required.

So, yes, the main issue centered around fear.
