### Package Drift or 'how do I add package `x` to my image after 2 years of not updating?'
A lot of people that end up using Debian on the field but cannot manage the infrastructure get cornered in a situation where a package `x` needs to be installed or updated and alas, it needs new dependencies.

Then you get your good revision and try to install/compile the new `x` package and... it doesn't work! `unmet dependencies` and all of that... it's the nature of Debian, things upstream together, at the same time. Mixing package feeds is a bad idea, and it might save a bit of time now, but we see this situation every week, customers really wishing they just had used something more appropriate from the get-go.

An addend that I'd like to make here: don't use `snapshot.debian.org`. I see a lot of companies deploying devices pinned to a good, known revision of the Debian archive using the snapshot services, but they quickly find out it's rate limited for a reason.
