Actually I have migrated my old server(running lucid) to a new 
one(natty) and I have hesitated
a long time before reinstalling lucid or move to more recent version.
But I wanted recent packages so now I am not sure I want to reinstall 
everything (even if
it would be still possible).
So I will try the given method from debian package.

Thanks
