The FAQ is correct, it's the current bpo-policy, which by now and as today became visible in two threads here, is outdated. I'd say: IMO it was a good idea many and some years ago, but today given stable-backports wide appreciation, it seems outdated. However the old reason is still the same: backports can be done by any DD (in the bpo keyring) and the unstable maintainer(s) might not appreciate those bugreports. Despite that, I think this policy should be changed and bpo bugreports should go to the BTS. Debian should recommend using backports and if Debian does so, we should provide proper bugreporting channels (which probably requires^wwould benefit from tuning the BTS and/or reportbug). > P.S. > If I Recall Correct: > There was first backports.org and later Debian backports ... yes. https://backports.debian.org/News/ has as oldest entry something from 2008, about backports.org and clearly not the first backports.org news :) -- cheers, Holger
