Alright, third time's the charm. Here we go:
I've contacted the maintainer of python-pytest-catchlog (Daniel Stender
<stender@debian.org>). He is fine with me uploading the current stretch
version to backports. I have done a test build with no changes (dch
--bpo), and things seem to work fine:
http://www.rath.org/debs/pytest-catchlog_1.2.2-1~bpo8+1.dsc
With python-pytest-catchlog available, I can now do no-change uploads
(i.e., just dch --bpo) of python-dugong and python-llfuse:
http://www.rath.org/debs/python-dugong_3.7+dfsg-3~bpo8+1.dsc
http://www.rath.org/debs/python-llfuse_1.1.1+dfsg-4~bpo8+1.dsc
The s3ql upload requires one additional change (documented in the
changelog): the minimum version of python3-pytest in debian/control is
actually too told. This was never a problem in sid/testing, but it
becomes a problem when building a backport because the buildd then
fetches the package from jessie rather than jessie-backports (so the
build fails):

Thanks!
