Bug Description
At the distro sprint in Wiesbaden, with the help of Scott and Mark, I ported James' "mia.py" backport generation script to run on Soyuz, calling it "backport-source". It has some resemblance to sync-source, except that instead of retrieving an external source package and generating a .changes file for it (or, in the future, creating new publishing records), it takes a source package in a distro and munges its changelog so that it can be "uploaded" to a backports pocket of a different distrorelease with a different version number so that it can be built in the target distrorelease.
As with the other ported-from-dak scripts, it's not in Launchpad style; sorry about that. I hope you can accept it on the same basis as the other ported-from-dak scripts for the time being.

This probably wants to become scripts/ ftpmaster- tools/backport- source. py.
