Ben, did you mean backporting to get it into bpo? Jonas has already
provided backports at his own site which we will probably move to our
own private dc8 repo. I'm testing with them now. So, if you don't have
the time to make them official, we'll most likely be ok for dc8.
Though it would of course be nice if others could benefit, if you have
the time. Plus, it would make Ganneff happier.
