+
+I think you are misunderstanding the kind of support we can offer for 
+backports. See Thomas's email. We will test a package installs and 
+works. We don't plan on supporting updates against already installed 
+backports, at least none that I'm aware of and if so then we maybe ought 
+to rethink opening backports altogether.
+
+We obviously support updates against already installed updates. If that 
+happens to break a backported package then that is not our main concern. 
+We certainly have no plans to add an extra layer of testing to regular 
+updates to check for that. I've never used a distro where backports were 
+treated that way and we absolutely do not have the manpower in QA to 
+support it. I'm not sure what other way to say it. I apologise if that 
+narrows the options on backports policy but this is the reality of it.
+
+That though is a separate discussion (or should be) and not related to 
+fixing bug 2317.
