Hi, there.

This src line will let you download the latest sources of splashy and
its dependencies so you can build packages for sarge. You are
'backporting' (in a sense) these packages from sid to sarge. So that
line above is indeed what you want.

HTH,

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that
the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if
you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all
means, do not use a hammer.
