I'd prefer that we don't keep multiple backports versions in the repositories,
for the sake of simplicity. Users who ask for the latest must accept that
sometimes the latest is not the greatest. Plus, we have the backports_testing
repos so that users can test and spot bugs before the old backport is replaced
with the new one.
I want stable : don't use backports.
I want the latest : use backports.
I want an intermediate version : no, sorry, your need is too specific. You can
still compile it.
Samuel
Well sometimes latest version comes with bug corrections so it may be
considered as more stable than the previous version.
