Ah.  Not as formalized as a separate branch so you can follow what
happened during the lifetime of all jessie-backports releases, but at
least all history is recorded.  Thanks, I'm leaning towards this model
right now as it looks like it will save me some work to maintain a
separate branch.

Now if I can only get that backports ACL I could get to work. :-)
