Debian actually has a policy on this one.  We need to support upgrades
from the previous stable release.  For lilypond, the oldstable version
is 2.2.6.  Once lenny releases (the current release-in-preparation), the
oldstable version will bump to 2.8.7 (which is the current stable
version).

That means that the clean upgrade must stick around for the meanwhile,
until the release of lenny.
