You are correct, Sergio: Debian never was as good a 3rd party repository 
for Debian as d-m-o.

Excellent.  But wait: ISn't this a bugreport?  Against Debian?!?

Seems to me that somewhere in all its excellence, d-m-o failed to 
separate and distinguish itself properly from Debian and broke 
something.  Or if d-m-o did not break but Debian did, then why on Earth 
use Debian - d-m-o is apparently much better _without_ Debian, no?

One of those silly ones devoted to the boring Debian itself.
