[ubuntu] Why is APTonCD incompatible with quantal?

http://ubuntuforums.org – I recently found out about the app APTonCD and became hugely excited! It could take the packages of my choice in my precise desktop and pack them all in one cd, like my "essentials" installation media. I installed this app and placed my favorite packages into a cd. Next, I wanted to insert the cd on my laptop running Ubuntu quantal daily build. I navigated to the APTonCd page on the software center, and to my dismay, I realized that it was incompatible with quantal. Why can some apps, like this one, be incompatible in quantal? Thanks.

I noticed that the deb line for Eufloria HD from the humble bundle in /etc/apt/sources.list.d is from quantal, but I'm running precise... Why is that? I guess they uploaded it for quantal only, or is this a bug?

I wrote a tutorial on how to run apps from Quantal (Ubuntu 12.10) directly within Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) using a chroot.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed and upgraded. I noticed lots of packages with -quantal suffix (kernel, xorg stack, drivers, etc.), which is included in 12.04.2 upgrade. How to easily upgrade all of my installed packages to *-quantal equivalent?

Well, the Elementary devs are not going to release their own Luna in the foreseeable future--they are saying that their distro is not like any other and it must be without bugs to come out.

They even said, if I move Luna Beta 1 to Quantal and/or Raring, I would get updates etc.

So, I took the challenge and build "their" Luna with Quantal mini.iso and with their Quantal applications.

It's been a week now that whenever i run sudo apt-get update it shows me this:

Err http://archive.ubuntu.com quantal InRelease Err http://archive.ubuntu.com quantal-updates InRelease Err http://archive.ubuntu.com quantal-backports InRelease Err http://archive.ubuntu.com quantal-security InRelease Err http://archive.ubuntu.com quantal-proposed InRelease Err http://archi

I was running 12.04.2 with the 3.2 series kernel. I thought the "latest and greatest" would be a good idea, so I installed the lts-quantal kernel and corresponding xorg-lts-quantal components.

You have your Precise based 5 year LTS "X" distro, but you don't want to go the new "X" with the Quantal base with only less than 1.5 years already. Some of these "X" distros a spewing out "release candidates," "development releases" with the Quantal, long after Quantal was released--20 days ago.

Examples;

Hi. I'm on Precise using the standard Remmina from the repoes, but it's got some annoying window placement bugs. I tested Quantal, and discovered that the bugs have been fixed in the version shipped with Quantal. In both version of Remmina, under "About", it's the same version number, "0.9.99.1". Why don't they put the "fewer bugs version" in Precise, or how can I
