No, packages compiled in Sardine unstable will not be installable on
IT OS 2007.  Sardine unstable as a whole is 'binary compatible' with
bora in the sense that you should be able to upgrade a IT OS 2007
device to Sardine unstable.  You don't want to do this, tho, just to
get the fixed Application Manager.

Err, no. :) The fix makes it only fail gracefully... can't you fix
sudo to also work when used by root?
