I assume you mean all the "Improve file mode handling" related changes here? And with backport do you mean cherry-picking those and preparing a stable update, or doing a stable backport? > If you lack time, I can try to do the backport myself and provide you > the patches. Just ask. The code has seen some code churn/cleanup so cherry-picking feels dangerous for a stable update, more so given that it would lose all the testing from buster/sid, it would also involve including new features and config file changes, so I'd be quite hesitant to do that. If you mean a package backport, I'd be fine with that, and don't mind if you'd want to prepare/maintain it? Thanks, Guillem
