Stuff gets pulled in which breaks official packages, notable vlc. You should at least never dist-upgrade with that repo enabled. We all use it sometimes though, just watch out. I don't know much about libxine2* but did notice that xine-ui (maybe also other xine-orientated packages) depends on it. Seems it can coexist for now but maybe libxine1* will disappear from sid sooner than later. If kaffeine can be built against libxine2* that might avoid problems later. David
