Before to do this problematic approach, please could you make some a
clarifications?
1) the problem is the _number_ of build dependencies or the type of build
dependencies?
2) Could you provide a list of the problematic dependencies? Maybe a team
could made them for backports.
Indeed.
If we are talking of a few (at most 10 or more if there are other person available, and anyway I'd need a sponsor) packages to backport I'm available to help. As a user of owncloud I've all the interest of keeping it on wheezy-backports.
OTOH in theory Jessie should be stable in "February" ? "March?". So, we are
talking about a few months to maintain backports ...
I disagree. Jessie will be release in the next month (say, during the spring) but not all people upgrade their server right after the release (for sure I won't). A backport imho should be maintained at least until 2016.
