Comment 3 for bug 1127601

Thanks for the link to that page, can't believe I missed it! At least I had found backportpackage already.

So I'll go through the checkboxes one after the other and test?

One thing that's not clear to me after reading the page:
The quantal version of aptitude depends (not only build-depends) on libapt-4.12 >= 0.9.3, which is provided by apt and is newer than the version provided with precise.
Would I need to create a second backportrequest from quantal to precise for apt? And then mention in that one that it relates to this request?
(I can't just request porting libapt because backports work by source package, right?)

After checking the output of requestbackport for apt... this would become quite a large request in that case due to reverse deps. ouch.
