And if I don't have the time to backport those other packages, what should be
done?

Right now, the just uploaded wordpress package to unstable is not possible to
backport due to:

	Depends: libjs-jquery (>= 1.11.3) but 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2 is to be installed.
	Depends: libphp-phpmailer (>= 5.2.14) but it is not going to be installed.

I can modify the dependencies, to not require this, when backporting. But this
causes the issue in the original report (now it has been fixed in unstable). And
if I don't change the dependencies, is not possible to build the package anymore.

How is it expected to handle these cases?




Thanks a lot,
