I am so sorry - I didn't realize that backports were not meant to be requested if the package was not already in the repository for a later version of Ubuntu.
I have set just about all the other backport requests to "incomplete" since I can neither delete them or bookmark them for use in future.
Hopefully that will save the launchpad admins a lot of trouble.
But now I had been having trouble logging on and remaining at the launchpad site.
So it has been difficult checking for loose ends.
One of the admins sent me a message calling my submissions "Spam".
Yes - there were a lot of them, and yes - they all were submitted in quick succession.
But I did not do this with any malicious intent that is implied by the use of the word "Spam"
I went to a lot of effort to find, collect, and submit those packages,
and it is very disheartening to have these problems.
I am sorry.
But the system has not made it easy to fix the problem.
I hope to soon be certain that I have sorted the respective submissions and marked then as "incomplete".
I also hope to send an email to you and some other admins,
because this experience has some lessons.
