Why should back-ports dictate how Jessie is developed? This is not the
same requirements as e.g. dpkg where last one must be able to process
all packages from the immediately next release.
And dh-python is available from backports - stable-bpo 1.20131021-1~bpo70+1
I don't understand why are you insisting on blocking migrations to
dh-python. Is there some non-Debian requirement that you are omitting
/ not-telling here?
