Which should happen this week.  I am currently busy with DebConf video
coverage.

Only packages in testing should have backports on backports.org.  Ion3
is blocked from propagating into testing (by #415287) until there is a
stable release of Ion3 that can be supported in a stable release of
Debian.  However, since I normally run stable myself, I normally ensure
that my packages will build on both stable and unstable, making it
trivial to backport them.
