</I>><i> This for each arch: thus 16 tests.

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.
