'Twas brillig, and Colin Guthrie at 10/06/11 11:44 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> I don't think this is particularly relevant. Backports are unsupported
</I>&gt;<i> generally. That's a given. If we encourage people to enable backports to
</I>&gt;<i> get missing packages (this is very distinct and separate from the
</I>&gt;<i> unsupported backports)
</I>
... then we will end up having to support people who have accidentally
updated to a backported package they didn't intend or want to install.
This is likely more hassle for us in the long run.
