I saw your question and was kind of stumped about how to answer.  We
rarely look at back branches for backpatch analysis, so I think we are
kind of confused on how to answer.  Under what circumstances are you
supported versions of Postgres that we don't support?  Is this part of
Debian policy?  Is our five-year insufficient?

  Do not let urgent matters crowd out time for investment in the future.
