Bug Description

Hi,
on the example of apache2 for trusty I can't work on an SRU via Bileto including the dep8 testing.
The reason is that there is a newer version in trusty-backports. That is fine but it should still let me go on right?.

Well actually that might be part of the ppa setup as the ppa thinks it is outdated, but I checked the ppa config and it is not on "backports" so I still don't see why it should block going on.

But enough assumptions - I'll let you tell me which tool decides in this case before going deeper.

So you're wanting to release an update to trusty-updates that ignores the one in trusty-backports?

Let me know if you need a configuration option to determine whether or not a ticket should inspect *-backports or whether -backports should just be universally ignored.

Since backports are "unsupported" and SRU activity is the supported path I'd lean to -backports generally being ignored.

Now Bileto is clearly for more than SRU work, so I beg your pardon if I overlook a use-case which would want -backports to be considered.

But I'd think unless you introduce something like "<Release>-backports" in the Bileto Ticket dropdown for "Target Series" it should IMHO always be right to ignore -backports.
Once you'd introduce such a feature, that would also be the "switch" that changes which pocket to inspect to compare versions (and create Diffs btw).

Ok I've pushed a fix that makes bileto ignore *-backports. If that breaks somebody then they can complain and I'll add a configurable option to the ticket to be able to choose if you want backports or not.
