Bug Description
Currently it is too easy to select the proposed repository without realizing that it contains potential regressions (as uploads are untested). Similarly, backports is a bit too scary as it's "unsupported", when in truth it's about as well supported as universe (ie "supported by the community"). The text should be updated to something a bit more helpful.
