Comment 1 for bug 1686022

Martin, please go ahead with this. Until you're added to backporters, ping me or someone else for queue accept. (Or if you're still in ubuntu-archive, JFDI.)

I'm happy for you to do this in future without paperwork, as long as each upload is smoke tested (b/i/r) before pushing.

We don't have autopkgtest hooked up for -backports at the minute. That might be an interesting feature to work on. In the meantime, if your package has them, you can trigger it manually from a PPA and then link the results into this bug report for reference.

One thing is that backports policy requires the upgrade path to be maintained. At the minute, that means that z -> x backports need to go to y too.
