ACK'ed and uploaded last debdiff. For the record, the IRC discussion was that

(1) Alternate dependencies on 3.2/3.3 are just more confusing for the user and doesn't really offer anything additional -- you can't mix 3.2 and 3.3 and expect things to work, though these dependencies would allow it.

(2) Creating new -3.2/-3.3 metapackages will pose headaches for upgrades.

(2) Instead, we will offer pure-3.3 dependencies in hardy-backports such that it will take a dist-upgrade / explicit upgrade to install the backport, and it forces all the 3.3 packages to be installed.
