Probably. But that's a politics decision. I only want my backports to work, and I prefer not spending entire working days for a single backport ;) > This has the > added advantage of being what you're supposed to do anyway, but it > should be easy enough to do that in a backport ... The problem is that my experience shows that a backport works best the less you have changed in the packages. Additionally, huge backport patches make it harder to backport later versions.
