If I am getting things correctly, the backported version is identical with the one in
Stretch/testing, so the same bug would be there, it migrated there in fact from unstable
and if nobody complains or otherwise nobody feels responsible to react to the report, it
will inevitably migrate to stable.

Sorry, I am not using unstable, I never have in fact, I think the version in testing is
usually new enough, except, there is currently a freeze-phase on the testing-branch.
