because it's latest stable version for debian sarge.
and i rather use possibly "older but stable" software, then "unstable"
or "development" software on production server.
also i don't need features of new version, in fact, i may stay on 6.5,
but from my point of view is 7.4 faster, and as i said, it's "stable"
for debian.
