"Regularly" doesn't mean every update that hits testing. In some development steps it might make a lot of sense to wait for a later upload in a bigger picture, so to say. But if you feel like taking regular care of the packages you backport is too much of a trouble I suggest you to please, with sugar on top, NOT upload them in the first place. backports is a service that is meant to be used in addition to stable, and thus should be taken care of in a useful and sensible way. That is: -) do not upload packages that aren't in testing (there are exceptions to this, but in general those are rather rare than the default and it would be convenient to ask beforehand) -) do not upload packages that are neither in testing nor in unstable! Sorry, but that is absolutely off. When you want to have a certain middle step of a package uploaded to backports, hold back the unstable upload until it transitioned to testing before updating unstable, making the version you backport from disappear ... > When I update JSCommunicator, as upstream developer, I test with a set > of dependencies, including JsSIP and its dependencies, and everything > that I've tested and validated is then uploaded to Debian (both unstable > and eventually backports).

It is not feasible for me to > repeat all of that every time a node-* package changes though. Backports is not your test field. You are pushing the testing towards users of an expected stable system which isn't acceptable, no matter how feasible you consider it. > I've uploaded a 1.0.19-1~bpo8+1 build corresponding to the version in > testing, 1.0.19-1, this will work with the other packages that have > already been accepted into jessie-backports yesterday. Thanks. And if you want to stay in the ACL file, whenever you try to do something out of the line, speak to us beforehand, don't let us stumble upon it like this because that doesn't help us to be convinced that you should be able to upload to backports directly without anyone else involved. You can find us in #debian-backports on irc which I know you do use at least at times.

When I update JSCommunicator, as upstream developer, I test with a set of dependencies, including JsSIP and its dependencies, and everything that I've tested and validated is then uploaded to Debian (both unstable and eventually backports). This involves testing standalone JSCommunicator, testing DruCall, testing on rtc.debian.org and testing each major browser on Linux and Android. It is not feasible for me to repeat all of that every time a node-* package changes though. I've uploaded a 1.0.19-1~bpo8+1 build corresponding to the version in testing, 1.0.19-1, this will work with the other packages that have already been accepted into jessie-backports yesterday.
