Good point -- I only ever think of these as porting machines, but to
simply setup a 'backport' (or build of the now-fixed pkg in unstable)
I could do it on any box.
Any empirical data on machines to try or not to try? Does
debian-admin respond quicker or slower somewhere? I should be able to
take or this this eve.
And there was a specific chapter on 'backporting for release' in the
developer's manual, wasn't there?
