AFAIK there are no Debian GIS packages in wheezy-backports yet. There
has been talk of providing backports for the next stable release
(jessie), but nothing concrete has come out of that.

It's also a bit early for that. Several core libraries have not been
updated in unstable yet, having the same version in stable, testing and
unstable.

The backports for Debian would be based on the packages in testing, not
those uploaded to unstable. So we first need to update the GIS packages
in unstable.

I'd like to have dedicated branches in the Debian GIS git for these
backports, so we have all the packing in one place. Since these are not
official Debian backports, naming the branch "mapgears-backports" may be
approriate. We can cherry-pick changes from these branches for the
official backports once we get around to them.

Kind Regards,

Bas
