I find it interresting that you are re-enacting the great firmware wares of 2008, which could only be resolved after a lot of blood was spilled. If -backports is not stable, neither is -security, -updates or -proposed-updates. This also means that d-i does not install stable. Or that we have stable that can run on modern hardware (yes, my current desktop does not even remotely work with 3.16). Anyway, lets not forget: Our priorities are our users and free software.
