Thoughts?

I think the only safe way is to create an empty branch and not to
populate it, because there are many constraints to be considered before
a package can be added to an older branch. E.g. a package may have a
chain of dependencies, which can't be fullfilled because something else
is missing on this older release and can't be upgraded to a compatible
version.

Agreed. And it is trivial to merge from wherever the packager feels most appropriate to.
