I think you misunderstood how backports work. You also don't followed the
recent discussions on the (mandatory) users list.
- The source of of (stable-)backports is testing.
- Do as less changes as possible
- Don't differ from the version in testing unless you really have to.
Your package does not comply with this basic rules.
Please fix it, otherwise I will have to remove the package.
