There is nothing wrong with sarge.  This mailing list runs on sarge as 
well.  Many of packages in sarge have been outdated for a while.  With 
etch, you can enjoy the newer package from debian, e.g. aircrack-ng, 
kismet for madwifi-ng, etc.   In addition, "always new" is my aim to 
create voyage.  Otherwise, I would stick to pebble instead of creating 
voyage..

I didn't release any 0.3 release, do you mean the voyage-current?  This 
version is close to 0.2 (i.e sarge) but with ubuntu kernel.  You could 
still consider it as 0.2. And you should point the sources.list back to 
0.2 ( instead of unstable) to avoid confusion.  Indeed, you could still 
enjoy the security update from Debian sarge.  It is just that 0.2 
repository (which also means, voyage kernel and madwifi-ng driver) is 
not updated.
