Yes, this sounds like a better idea. We should, however, be patient 
until the ftp-masters have decided about the inclusion of lame in to 
Debian. When this has happened (i.e. I expect a *positive* result 
*after* the Squeeze release), backports will soon be available for 
Squeeze. We should be patient and not point to locations outside 
Debian until then.
