Yes.

So far as I can tell from this bug's metadata 4.4 will not help you?
(I'll push 4.4 to stretch-backports soon in order to comply with
backports policy, anyway.)

For 5.x, I already have a working backport of 5.0 in my personal apt
repo, so it should be easy to bump that to whichever 5.x release
migrates to testing first and push that to stretch-backports.  If you
want the debs for testing, I can send you the URL for that repo.

Just ftr, we have to update stretch-backports once something new
migrates to testing, per backports policy.  The only way to delay
updating the backport is to keep making releases to unstable ;)
