Sorry.  My error.  (Too much time staring at my monitor, evidently.
You're just saying forget about backports.  No newer version, if it's 
not a major version change.
Some users will be disappointed with that.
Including myself sometimes.

How would you ensure that the application didn't have child dependancies ?
(Consider the case where the user wishes to install software from 
another source, which requires a newer version of an application which 
would now be available as a backport.)
