I would like to support my software for all OS version where there are
still people requesting packages. For my type of applications this is
currently not a software problem. The only thing I'm aware of, is that I
have to adapt my packages to the different naming/versions of packages.
AFAIK this can be handled by using "|" in the dependency rules. So as
long as I can use one package for distributions I'm in.

However I have difficulty to decided myself which OS version this are.
There were indivudual requests in the past. Downloading statistics are
likely the right way.

If you support more OS versions note hover that I would like to have a
way to upload a package once for multiple OS versions (I'm currently
using the web interface, but AFAIK dput need one call for each OS, too) :-)
