James Valleroy:
The reason that I'm asking is that FreedomBox is currently working within Debian "testing" but our target is Debian "stable". Once our packaged configuration is frozen for the next stable release, it will be more difficult for us to push changes other than security fixes.
(Debian hat on:) I try to keep Debian backports as up-to-date as possible. Are official backports out of your set of allowed packages as well?
