In FreedomBox, for users who want to use Matrix Synapse, we have been 
setting up backports repository and allowing Matrix Synapse to be 
installed from backports. (BTW, for people wanting Matrix Synapse on 
stable, with A/V call setup with Coturn, federation setup with 
certificates from Let's Encrypt, automatic upgrades, handling 
configuration file upgrades, distribution upgrades, and other 
conveniences, FreedomBox is a good choice). This backports setup has 
worked well for us for several stable releases now. Many thanks to 
maintainers for being thoughtful with this scenario and matrix packaging 
in general.
