Where are Compiz packages in LMDE UP6 ?
I've just booted the LMDE UP6 CD to see what's what,and I haven't been able to find in the repos the Compiz packages I'm currently using in my disk installation of LMDE:what gives ? Has Compiz been removed from the LMDE repo ?

i believe you are talking about the new lmde 201303 rc iso, right?
yes, compiz was removed from debian testing, it's on sid tho
http://packages.debian.org/search?suite ... rds=compiz

Yes,that 201303 rc iso exactly...I kinda suspected that something had changed in Debian,but I asked to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious...
So,if you don't mind the next dumb question,the only way to currently use that Compiz packages in LMDE would be to modify the software sources to track sid,or can it be done in some other way ?
Like,say,downloading and installing every single package with dpkg -i ?

You dont have to track SID, per se. Just temporarily enable it, install Compiz (and extras), then delete or comment out the SID repo.
Its what I did many moons ago.
