Thanks for your help. 
Several weeks ago, you told me how to create a backport for scim 1.4.1.
I've build it lately, and I have to test it, if I am satisfied I would like to 
share it. Do you mind if I upload it to www.backports.org ?
By the way, I  need to have a gpg key in the official Debian keyring in order 
to have my backport uploaded, does it mean I have to apply as an official 
maintainer or I just need to have a kind debian member to sign it ?
I couldn't find a clear answer in the documentation, can you bring some lights 
please  ?

Thanks, again.
