Hello, I would like to have LTS support for backports. On most systems I use one or more packages from backports.
When the same version of a package is in use in the next version of Debian, I guess backporting them is -in most cases- not a big problem. I am interesting if it would be a good idea to ask maintainers in the freeze-phase to put the same versions in stable-backports, if the package is in backports. Maybe we could say somewhere in the future: LTS supports backports, but only when the same version of a package is in the next Debian version. With some exceptions. Maybe I could do something myself by asking maintainers to update packages what are in backports, but with another version then in testing. Good idea?
