I am more a photographer than a linux-expert and I have used your
"extra" happily . When I bought new equipment tree weeks  ago had to
use also "backports" yesterday. Worked fine too. Thanks!

It would be good to have the possibility to easily choose what one
wants and sometimes the only solution is a beta-version but usually
the stable version is what people like me need because we use this "in
production".

So I think that the need is for both an up-to date stable version and
also for a beta version for this distribution (10.10). Of course this
is more complicated for you. But it is great that you do this when
canonical don't!

The extras don't bother me although I possibly don't need them (or
don't know the benefits)

Thanks for your great work!
