A few months ago I tried to backport mumble. I would say I am a little bit
experienced in creating backports and I can only say its a nightmare to

It has a bunch of complicated dependencys that all needs backporting.

I talked to the maintainer during my backport try and he is sharing my
opinion. Backporting mumble is far from being easy.
