 I could, but why would I? Like said, I don't use it and don't have the
need for the backport of it, so my interest in that is pretty low. It
would be better if the people who in fact _are_ interested in that
backport to get active themself.

 Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a backport of postgis, far from
it..  It's just that I don't think that I should be the one to invest
time into something that isn't in my interest, and especially be told to
do so by others. I put already a lot of my spare time into tracking
issues here (see my recent lighttpd and dnsmasq uploads to fix pending
security issues in etch-backports) and rather invest my time into
tracking those things more properly than in adding
another package to the ones I backport and track myself.

 So long, hope someone interested can be found. :)
