I'm not part of the buildd team, but yes, packages for wheezy-backports will definitely built in a wheezy chroot. About the kernel of the host system I don't know. I guess they stick to the stable kernels, and the buildd hosts will be upgraded from squeeze to wheezy at some point after the release of wheezy. That though is a question you should address the buildd admins and/or DSA with (DSA probably will only install wheezy kernels (through squeeze-backports) on the call of the buildd team in case they request it). > openjdk-7 - desirable for kfreebsd, because it can't build on the > regular buildds due to sbuild version and/or maybe the kernel The wheezy-backports will be produced on regular buildds, so if you consider those an issue you will have to get it fixed in a different way, this announce won't change anything in this respect (besides the obvious wheezy chroot for the wheezy-backports builds). In general, you can try to convince the regular maintainers of the packages whether they would be interested to offer the backports, usually it's a small effort for them because they are already familiar with the package (and might be aware of special cases to look after). Enjoy, and thanks for your feedback!
