I thought it made sense to add dependencies for those too so if I ever
do use backports-sloppy, I will get backports too rather than have to
remember to manually install it.

Is there a wiki or something else that lays out exactly what other
distributions and components each debian (distribution,component) tuple
is allowed to depend on?
This is what I've concluded so far.
I'm assuming transitive dependencies are allowed, e.g.
bookworm-updates-contrib can depend on bo

If I've understood your need correctly this should not give any
conflicts.
If you don't want to mess with rewriting history then just regular git
mv, rebase onto common master and rebase each tree in turn. But this
will (IMO) make history harder to understand and any future rebase
cleanups will likely be a disaster.

Why not? That's, in my case, basically saying "you should not be running

TLDR; there was a firmware bug in a disk in the raid array resulting in
data corruption. A subsequent kernel workaround resulted in
dramatically reducing the disk performance. (probably just writes but I
