 You haven't contacted the former backporter (me), and you don't seem to
have been in contact with the regular package maintenance team, at least
not from what I can tell when looking at the pkg-bacula-devel list
archive.

 <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-bacula/bacula.git;a=summary>
is the current one, and http://git.deb.at/w/pkg/bacula.git contains my
workplace.

 I'm also not completely sure whether the team members back then when
John orphaned said they would like to provide the backport themself -
that's why I hesitated at first, which brings me back to square one:
Have you been in contact with them?  Because then they could have told
you about these things ...

 Thanks so far,
Rhonda
