It is big. CPU variant takes me more than 20 minutes with an intel
workstation CPU to build. CUDA variant takes more than 40 minutes.

No as far as I know. I do not have plan to backport to debian stable
neither.

If there is no strict requirement on d/copyright, you may refrain
from exluding the third_party embedded sources from pytorch orig
tarball. That will reduce the amount of packages to backport, but
will require you to modify more bits in the debian/ directory.
