Hi,

Example of a simple `d/s/support` file that I would use for my own packages:

```
debian/stable
debian/unstable
```

This doesn't make sense.

Assume I put debian/stable into it. Because I only care about backports to the 
last stable.

Now  that one becomes stable itself. Does it need to be changed to 
debian/oldstable? keep it? Thus claiming to suport only itself which is wrong?

(e.g. I *do* backport trixie to bookworm-backports if needed, like on security 
updates or stable updates)

And how to update it? A p-u upload?



#### Example 2. "The package targets stable and oldstable; oldoldstable is also 
targeted, but by another developer."

```
debian/oldoldstable [email protected]
debian/oldstable
debian/stable
debian/unstable
```

oldoldstable is by definition another developer. Even for oldstable... As long 
as stuff is in (old)stable and supported official, OK.

If that one is given to LTS one needs *another* upload to update this field to 
the LTS people?

## Open questions:

I think the most open question is why you want to add another field which will 
quickly get out of date, only fixable by (o-)o-p-u and put more burden on 
maintainers for (almost) no gain.,

Rene
