Which more rigorous requirements?
btw, on http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/, there is still no word
about the official archive. Many people are out there and still using
that old archive, without even knowing that using them will cause
severe upgrade issues.

If you have problems bringing some packages into hoary-backports on
archive.ubuntu.com, why didn't you ask for help? I, and many other
motus would be more than happy to offer help.

Please make a list of packages which need to be processed and what
other things are left to do in order to finally shut down
http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/ and redirect people to the official
backports directories.
