I think M18 made it in. Nutscrape is in non-free.

task-helix-desktop (or whatever it is) has been broken since 1.4 and remains
broken, to the best of my knowledge. I don't know if they're going to fix
it. RedCarpet is available for Debian, but segfaults on my system :( So, no
new Ximian for Alex (at least, not for a while yet).

Any problem in woody is also a problem in sid, but not all problems in sid
are problems in woody, so I would imagine it is because more people use
woody :) Also, people who use sid know they are tempting fate, and don't do
it often, whereas woody users update more often and hence are more likely to
get broken packages.
