I'm not quite sure what you mean... If I can make life easier for
someone trying to backport a package to stable with reasonable effort, I
will. I will not, however, spend any effort in making life easier for
someone trying to backport to oldstable. Same for ubuntu releases (which
generally, although not always, tend to be >= debian stable in terms of
package versions).
