THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
backports master have *always* be against such method.
If you upload something to backports you're committing to ship that in
the next stable release.
(capitalized, as it happens too often that somebody wants to do it, and
then it causes a lot of noise in debian-backports (either IRC or ML),
everybody gets more annoyed, etc.)

It's a difference source package, with a difference schedule, etc. How
does it fit in this topic? :)
