Bonjour,

Some software is installed from Debian GNU/Linux side, with an explicit exception. That makes them susceptible to unexpected changes and I wonder if it would be advisable to add a backports.list in addition to sid.list to be able to get more stable and yet newer packages. My initial impulse was to just propose a patch to do that but ... I then thought there may be a good reason why this is disabled[1]. Or maybe I just missed something ;-)

Thoughts ?
