clone 879145 -1 retitle -1 backports support thanks Thank you for your answer. I can understand that you prioritize backports support. Perhaps we should open a different bug report to keep track of the discussion about backports support ?
debian-ports supports seems comparatively easier : there is no udeb package overlap between the two suites 'unstable' and 'unreleased', as far as I can see. Some packages in 'unreleased' are arch-specific to a non released architecture - and so not in 'unstable'. And the other packages didn't make their way to 'unstable' because they FTBFS - modified versions were uploded to 'unreleased'. Bonne fin d'année à tous !
