Backports: Django, web.py, Trac - anyone wants them?

Hi,

for some reasons I need lenny backports of python-django,
python-webpy and trac. Some of the packages I don't need for
"production use", but for automatic testing (using bitten) only.
I could work with squeeze chroots, but probably I will go for
the backports. Now my question: Are more people interested in
having the backports, so I will upload them to b.d.o (but don't
hold your breath), or am I the only one interested? Or better:
Is someone interested in doing the backports? :~)

Cheers

I could make use of python-django 1.1 in Lenny. Until I have a
backport, I'll need to install it locally.

I briefly looked into backporting python-django, but failed. The
package in Squeeze uses some Python features that are not present in
Lenny. Off the top of my xterm (and not looking into the rules file
yet):

$ fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us -i
....
Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 7.0.50) python-sphinx


But I dimly recall that there are some changes deep in the Python core
(from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4) to prevent a simple package re-building from
working (ie, it would require a real porting effort).

While at it, I should probably sign up for b.d.o, too.
