true.

What about experimental?
Besides that, there is no reason not to use the maintainer's package even if
it is not in an official Debian repository.

I disagree. There aren't any (versioned) libc-dependencies in BackupPC. There
may be other versioned dependencies ("Depends: dpkg >= 1.8.3"? Shouldn't
that be Pre-Depends?), but if we're lucky, BackupPC 3.0.0 from sid (or even
experimental) may install in stable without pulling in any further
dependencies.

Or wait for someone else to build a package ...
