yeah.. he opened this bug against [0] prototype-js so it doesnt need
patching it and it will get rid of the personalized js library
The Experimental warning is false positive
The rest are quite trivial to handle by the maintainer himself. I can
provide patches if asked by Sebastian, but as i understand backports
should deviate as little as possible from testing, so I didnt touch
much in the backport

not much left for us to do but to have someone to upload it i think :>

I think you are refering to the update feeds alternative daemon, dont you?
I never really tried to used since the default just works for me :>
open the bug in testing and i can try to reproduce it and maybe fix it...
