Hi, actually, I have talked about backports.d.o. I think, according to documentation on http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/, non DDs may prepare backports too. My concerns are: 0) I still think the fix should go to proposed-updates, rather than backporting whole stuff, at least for support from security team and then packages on wheezy built without relro seem weird to me, even only locally built ones, as it is (was) release goal for wheezy. Ad backports.d.o: 1) You are the maintainer and maybe you want make the backport yourself? 2) I am not regular CDBS user and I do not know nothing about its internals. Though the backporting is really straightforward. 3) I see my life as rather unstable and not sure if I will be able to backport new versions with important (e.g. security) fixes for the whole life of wheezy (as stable and oldstable). Therefore I think the unintrusive fix would be better in p-u to avoid the burden of a backport. Regardless, I have uploaded a backport to https://mentors.debian.net/package/cdbs, if you still think the backport would be better then p-u and don't have objections, I can post it to debian-backpo...@lists.debian.org.
