We've been intentionally trying to keep the package backportable.
This seems to confirm that we haven't yet messed that up :)

Note that this might change soon as the time64 and /usr-merge
transitions are deemed "very much not backportable in a sane way"[1].

I'm afraid I won't have time to dedicate to this either. The summer
months are tricky for me, and all the little precious time I can
spare for Debian work is entirely allocated to making a fairly big
restructuring happen. Getting out of the way of the /usr-merge
transition is next on the list.

If you prepared a backport I'd be quite happy to take a look though.
