There is another solution (that was already proposed in this thread):
Drop the non-working python3-ruamel.yaml package from the ruamel.yaml
backport.
The python3-ruamel.yaml backport apparently never worked,
so there's not any real loss.
And this avoids all kinds of problems like for example:
Looking at the diff you proposed for python-typing, what happens
when a user with python3-typing installed upgrades to stretch?
There's a whole new class of bugs that is possible when adding
non-backported packages to backports.
