Jelmer, did you already think about that? Is there a way one could help
you?
Reviving this thread that's more than a year old...

Known issues that still need to be addressed:
* backport from testing rather than unstable
* rename the suite from bullseye-backports to something that does't
clash with the official backports (version strings are already different)
* finish processing the rest of the archive
* better sanity checking to prevent too many dependencies from being
pulled in
I haven't decided on a name yet. "auto-bullseye-backports", perhaps?
Cheers,
Jelmer
To save the janitor some compute power, would make sense to skip
packages that have already been backported? E.g., I noted there is an
auto-backport for debhelper even though debhelper is "in sync" between
stable-backports and testing (or even sid at the moment).
Other than that, I think this looks great and I hope this will help make
backporting more smooth.
Thanks,
~Niels
