</span>Good question. I asked the backports people, and since you already have<br>
permission to upload to the main archive, all you need to do is to ask<br>
to be added to the backports ACL as per this section:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index2h3" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index2h3</a><br>
<br>
The first upload still needs to be signed by a Debian Developer, so I<br>
can sponsor that for you.<br>
<br>
That leaves the question of whether or not you have the time, need and<br>
inclination to maintain the backport, the procedures are a bit different<br>
than for the main archive. If you don't, I'm happy to maintain it.<br>

</span>Ok, sure. Backports to stable follow the version in testing, so as soon<br>
as these versions migrate from unstable, the backport will need to be<br>
updated.<br>
