dak doesn't deal with moving packages from unstable to testing, that's
for britney to decide (under the control of the release team).
Ultimately, as I understand it, the current position is that packages
not aimed at testing shouldn't go to unstable anyways (as they may tie
up migration of other packages through shlib changes or other problems)
but should be placed in experimental instead.

As backport.org is an entirely seperate archive, that wouldn't work
(unless we re-injected the package into the backport.org queued, but
that would require us to 1) know about it and 2) not feel ill at the
prospect of doing things like that :-)
