As part of trying to do a slightly better job of handling security and
stable updates, I'd like to propose reducing our testing requirements
for those backports.
Proposal: For stable and security updates of backported packages which
are not new upstream versions, it is not necessary to test reverse
dependencies. The only testing required is builds/installs/runs of the
package itself.
Objections to making this official backports policy?
