yes, I'm aware of this.

yes

no, it's that the bug tables don't know about backports already... I'll work 
on a fix shortly... (I use+maintain backports myself, so I'm interested in 
correct functionality.)

yes, though 
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/stable-backports
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/oldstable-backports

already exist and are broken. It would be trivial to disable/hide them, but 
I'm really more interested in fixing them.

On a related note, I've also reworked the selection logic on those 
status/release/$RELEASE views and replace those link logic with proper 
checkboxes (so one can select to only view high or low urgency bugs or 
whatever) and in future there could be checkboxes for sloopy-backports instead 
of regular ones, or the inclusion/exclusion of proposed updates.


cheers,
	Holger
