I did see that link, labelled "Some", but it removes the backports-only filter,
so it's no longer the search that I wanted - packages matching "gcc" in backports.

But this doesn't matter if you're not the right people to fix it.

BTW Carsten, my direct email to you bounces with a useless error message:
"A problem occurred. (Ask your postmaster for help or to contact
[email protected] to clarify.)".  But I guess that wouldn't be the
right email address.
