Thanks for your positive answer. The backport itself is trivial, but not
sure what to do on the VCS side. Debian Astro does not use DEP14 for the
repository layout, so I am not sure how to name the bookworm-backports
branch in git.

Should I just name it bookworm-backports to more or less match the
current naming without vendor namespace, or should i go for
debian/bookworm-backports so that it is already DEP14 compatible?

Cheers
Aurelien
