'cause the packages are linked against the version of the gtk2 (and ...)
libs in unstable. It's no problem building this packages on a sarge
system, but the binary packages built on debian unstable won't work on a
sarge system. If i have the time, i will rebuild my official Debian
packages in a sarge chroot and announce them here.
