Hi Ole,

TL;DR: Success! What do I do next to submit a jessie-backport of python-astropy?

I successfully built backports for python-astropy and all its dependencies. After my signature below are the latest local changelog entries from all of the packages that I had to rebuild. Wherever the changelog says only "Rebuild for jessie-backports", that means that there were no changes necessary to the sources.

How does this look? As you can see, the only package for which I started from a release that is not the latest in sid, and the only package for which I had to make any changes to the source, was python-astropy itself.

What should I do next? What is the protocol for actually pushing these backports? Should I put the full jessie branches somewhere for review? If so, where? Should I contact each of the maintainers? Anything else to think of?

Thanks,
Leo
