[Bug 888627] Re: please backport pdns-recursor 3.3-2 from Precise

If this issue was fixed in 3.1.7, would it be acceptable to backport
Lucid's pdns-recursor (3.1.7.2-1) to Hardy instead?

In order to ensure that upgrades work after you're installed a backport,
we require backports to go to all intermediate releases, so a backport
from Precise to Hardy would also require backports to Lucid, Maverick,
Natty, and Oneiric, and all of those would require testing as well.

pdns-recursor 3.1.7.2-1 also hadn't been updated to use debhelper 8 or
source format 3.0, so it should be backportable with no source changes.

If you're still interested in backporting 3.3-2, that's fine, but please
also test the backports to Lucid, Maverick, Natty, and Oneiric. There is
a tool in the ubuntu-dev-tools package, backportpackage, that can help
with this testing.
