Thanks - that's great news.

QGis (already in your list) seems a good choice since 2.8.x is the
release which will get updates in the future.
Saga should be straightforward to backport as well, and people have
asked for backports in the past (in fact a backport to wheezy would be
even more useful as saga was not part of wheezy). It may be worthwile
to have qgis in backports first: people using the processing plugin
from qgis 2.4 may have problems using the last version of saga.
I'll try creating a package and put it on debian-mentors.
Kind Regards,
Johan
