This brings immediately the question: Do you (Anthony) plan to maintain
python2.6 and all the module packages for the remaining lifetime of
lenny-backports? It seems to be a bit more than a year from what I can
tell, depending on when the security team and the release team actually
plan to shut down lenny in the end.
So it really depends on the amount of packages that you want to dump
into backports and your willingness to keep track of them for their
remaining lifetime, wether we are going to approve the uploads.
Enjoy,
