Not true. There are Debian source packages, and taking the source
package from Debian 2.x, x>2 (woody/sid), you can easily build it
on Debian 2.2 (potato).
In fact, it seems likely that a 2.2 (potato) packaging of 7.1 should be
available from somebody else anyhow. Oliver, do you plan to make the
woody 7.1 package depend on any other package versions not in potato?
If not, you can just use the 7.1 package directly on your Debian 2.2
system.
(Apologies to the rest for the Debian jargon.)
