I've seen it mentioned a few times where people add themselves to backports and then get critiqued for it, which seems a little inconsistant with the section defining "Best Practices" on the "Contribute" page. http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index12h3 Seems like to me either the Contribute page should either remove this suggestion, or people should stop asking for this to be removed from packaging in sponsorship requests. I don't have strong opinions either way, but there are enough challenges for peole to package a backport correctly... sponsors should at least respond consistantly with the "Best Practices" listed on the "Contribute" page. Interestingly enough, I don't see a mention of "Minimal Changes Necessary" in the "Best Practices" section, which seems like one of the main best practices for backports... Thanks to everyone who works on packaging backports, sponsoring backports, or the infrastructure to make it all work! live well, vagrant
