Thanks for these!

I'm sure it will. I haven't looked at them, but since the hint to your
packages in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=873075#35 my plan is
to look at them and try to do a Debian QA upload based on them.

I though don't have my Debian Testing based BackupPC server in shape
yet, so I can't test it currently.

Once I managed to do this, I intent to look into making a QA upload of
BackupPC to at least get it back in shape. Or maybe first a simple 3.x
upload to unstable to get a few things fixed and then upload 4.x to
experimental first. (JFTR: This should though not keep anyone from
doing this before I get to it! I do not claim this bug.)

It's though not my top priority at the moment, so I don't want make
any promises I may not be able to keep.

I'd join and help if anyone wants to form a BackupPC team in Debian.
I'm though not keen on taking the lead.
