</I>><i>
</I>So you are saying that the same package, with exactly the same name, is
put into updates and backports. Are you sure there wouldn't be a hard
link between the 2 files ? If not, it wouldn't be difficult.
However, wouldn't it be more likely that the backport would be for an
earlier release, with dependancies corresponding to the libraries, etc
of the earlier release ?
In the first case, no saving of space. In the second, additional
libraries, etc would probably have to be installed, which could be a
stability nightmare, as well as saving relatively little space.
