I'm struggling to find much documentation on the wiki/elsewhere about
the mechanics of proposing an update to stable.  So far as I can tell,
this is what I need to do -- I would appreciate it if you could fill in
any missing steps:

1. File a bug against release.debian.org saying what changes I want to
   backport and why [hope this is right because I'm going to do it
   right now].
2. If that bug receives a positive response, acquire the version of
   mozilla-devscripts currently in stable with `apt-get source`
3. dch -v 0.39+deb8u1.
4. Backport the fixes (with none of the other changes since 0.39).
5. Build and test the package in a stable chroot.
6. dch --release --distribution=stable
7. RFS/upload to ftp-master.
