  Just to correct this statment: The SSP-patch that I've enabled is 
 for Debian _stable_.

  If there's interest I would be happy to supply an unstable compiled
 version in addition to the stable version.

  However I was interested in compiling core packages and this is more
 interseting for stable, partly because there aren't likely to be major
 updates - so I'm not constantly rebuilding the packages when updates
 occur, and partly because I have a lot of production servers running
 stable for which security is important.
