Interesting challenge!

I have my hands full already, and plenty of exciting new packages to
fill any excess time. So I would prefer to not do the backporting
myself, but would prefer that you do it.

If not too much extra work for you, then I would be quite interested in
making these package as backportable as possible, so please consider
filing bugreports for any changes to the unstable-targeted packages
that you think might make ease your backporting work - i.e. consider
"upstreaming" backporting changes to the main package where it makes
sense.

Most cool, but probably also most challenging, would be patches for
covering both rand v0.8 and v0.10 - if someone figures out the pattern
for doing that (and it isn't super complex to implement), then I am
open to carrying and maintaining that type of patches in the main
package, so that backporting require no patches for that class of
issues.

So what I mean is that I would prefer to not do the *initial* work if
making backports work, nor the housekeeping of ensuring that the
backports are in decent shape. But I don't mind added workload in my
regular maintenance to ease backportability, if offered patched (which
I then don't need to compose but need to maintain).

Hope that makes sense, as is of some use,

 - Jonas
