That depends a lot on the backport. I think that's probably true of many
of them, but there are some packages that pose special backporting
problems and risks, where the bugs are likely to be around
backport-specific things. I'm thinking of, for instance, the OpenLDAP
packages, where backporting is likely to cause issues with the database
upgrades and BerkeleyDB format.
