my apology. I thought it would be the best to keep the topics together,
but I have already read why it's better to do it the other way.

Ok, that makes one package more.

Yes, that's why I had added the backports.org source in the first
place.

Looks like it keeps working with existing ones. I found no problems, but
didn't create new ones either. It's better to upgrade, I'd say.

Same with me.

Thanks.

Don't need them, but I will keep that in mind.

Yes, I have read about that.

Ok.

So the complete list would be in my case:
hdparm
e2fsprogs
libsysfs
module-init-tools
net-tools
procps
sysfsutils
util-linux
libsysfs and sysfsutils were mentioned by Pigeon. That is too much for a
productive environment, since I don't know nothing about possible side
effects. I'll stick with 2.4.25, but many thanks for your answer anyway.
