People who are in the need of a backport usually don't have a distribution
with those informations available (otherwise they'd have at least an
out-of-date package). Also there are a lot of Debian derivates, Ubuntu is just
a more well known one. So imho it would make sense to describe a way to do it,
I'm just not sure what the best place for it is. The other option would be to
figure out how backports in Ubuntu work, as far as I know they have something
like Debian's backports.org - but as I'm not an Ubuntu guy and I don't have
the necessary chroot available, I think that somebody else would have to take
care of "official" Ubuntu backports.


Cheers,

Bernd
