Heh ;-)

Doing it myself didn't go so well. Last time I tried to start with
apt-src which lead to this and that, and finally somebody told me
that if I continue, I get to make my very personal gcc transition. I
didn't want to make my personal gcc transition ;-)
backports.org is a cool site, but it doesn't have *that* many
backports. I'm using it at the moment, though.

Yep.

Ah, systemimager. I didn't know that exists. I wonder what it
does. I'm afraid that we need more than simple system images --
maybe systemimager provides this.
