What makes sense to me is to interpret that passage as "...for cases where the package in unstable is less buggy than the one in testing", which does not fit here. What makes sense to me is to pour all possible attention into getting Asterisk acceptable for testing, and only *then* consider if there is leftover energy to also offer a backport. Hint hint: I expect to easily be able to handle the task of backporting in addition to keeping Asterisk up-to-date in unstable. What is needed is someone volunteering the time to look after the Asterisk package that is boringly sitting in stable or oldstable and occationally needing a security patch applied. I can do the task of releasing patches-applied updates, so you need not be an official Debian developer to help. All you need is dedication to keep an eye on stable and oldstable branches of Debian, and the ability to *try* to apply patches. If you notice a needed patch, try to apply it, and that fails, then we are a team, and you can ask me to try as well - and you can shout out to Debian developers at large on the debian-devel mailinglist as well. This bugreport is about the lack of helping hands. Please consider helping out. Thanks for nice words about the work already done, but really what is needed here is help.
