Well, I like to know the reason for a backport. Sometimes people
uploaded bugfixes to address issues in stable, which is wrong. And when
there is no direct indication why something was backported we ask what's
going on. But it would be much more helpful to not have to ask but been
told by the people doing that beforehand. It leaves a totally different
impression about the person doing so.

While I agree that it's an important change on itself, it's a corner
case and I don't see it as a reason for a backport on its own.
Backports is about new features that packages offer that might be useful
for users of an otherwise stable release. And moving package from
contrib to main - while it is an important step, no question there - is
not really offering something new to stable users.

You can upload them together, the buildds should be able to handle that
correctly from what I know. Unless there is something else that might
be an issue here that I don't see on first sight.
Have fun,
