yes : this will become harder and harder, as we will have more and more 
libraries using Koha.That'a also why I strongly suggest to my costomers 
to use an official Koha release, and not use local templates for 
librarian interface.

And i will continue this way, as it proves that it's the best one to 
find where a bug comes from : it always comes from Koha, not from the 
local templates !
