Actually, after talking with an ftpmaster on IRC, he has made me realize that removing the package from -backports will not actually serve our purpose, because users will not upgrade to the wheezy-security version, as it has a lower version. The proper fix would be to upload a new backport from stretch or, failing that, ship the patches from wheezy-security into the backport. I don't think we can safely update the wheezy-security version to the backport as there are what seems to me to be API-breaking changes between -3 and -5... I haven't reviewed the patch, but those changes seemed problematic: * [8b23685] Remove obsolete webapps configuration (Closes: #714707, #714258) * [6abb302] Cleanup password handling * [e4a9bf7] Fix password handling * [c14f6cf] Deprecate Nagios1 compatible Nagios configuration * [abe9bc9] Update web specific packaging for apache 2.4 A. -- C'est trop facile quand les guerres sont finies D'aller gueuler que c'était la dernière Amis bourgeois vous me faites envie Ne voyez vous pas donc point vos cimetières? - Jaques Brel
