That is for backports of course not for adding patches to the current stable package as part of a point release. There the rules are slightly different and reviewed by the release team. In either case having the code tested in unstable/testing first is a good starting point. > - What is your opinion about this backport? Sounds like a reasonable request. :) The size of the patch and level of complexity is not high so after having the code in unstable and testing a request for inclusion of patched package in the next point release is not too far fetched.
