Except that those private repositories and backports have no policy and no
maintenance. My proposal is to create a policy for a repository with
maintenance, security updates which introduces new packages and provides new
functionality on outdated or useless packages from stable, and is built against
stable.
Puting a debian branding and effort on having such idea would make Debian only
better. For those who want to use such infrastructure.
And some people have already outlined a policy draft on the list. We can take
them and try to make policy out of them.

It's called a change-over. The movie goes on and nobody knows the
difference.
