Comment 19 for bug 888665

The reason to keep experimental packages as isolated from each other as possible is that they might get ripped out without notice and leave other bits uninstallable. Do we really have that same policy with backports? I really see no issues with just declaring that, like any other Ubuntu pocket, backports is internally consistent, and let it depend on itself across the board.

(I'm partially biased here, in that implementing the other bit is significantly more work, and not on the near-term TODO, but I honestly don't see the argument for keeping backports compartmentalised, since we don't deliver them in a compartmentalised fashion, but as part of a widely-populated repository)
