Hi Daniel, That's correct.
I maintain BIRD 2 packages in Debian unstable/testing and stable, and also our pkg.labs.nic.cz/bird2/ repos
I could also maintain -backports and Ubuntu package and various other forks but I don't really have cycles to do all that, so I leave that on the community which is free to backport / reuse Debian packages as needed. An extra advantage of that is that if I get hit by a bus, it should be easier to replace me as there will be others familiar with bird packaging - the show must go on :)
So if you want, please do upload / maintain bird2 in -backports, I'm sure some users (especially those with restrictions on third-party repos) will find that useful.

Hi Jakub and Ondřej, I'm also interested in using more recent bird versions in my deployment, but I don't use third-party repos on principle. Since I'm a DD I could just start uploading and maintaining a backports for bird2, is there I reason to not do that? My guess is you just want to avoid doing the work twice since you're already maintaining that repo outside of Debian, right? --Daniel
