If you have backported packages, you'd like to share, by all means, send them in. Our requirements aren't that high. You need to have a gpg key in the official Debian keyring. Please describe detailed what you did to get that package compile on stable. That's what the package changelog is for. Pick out a package and check it's changelog for an example. Reduce the Debian version by one, and add a string like backports.org.1 (prefered one, so it's clear where this backport comes from) to it, if this is the first release of that backport. For example, if you backport libfoo_1.2.3-4, the backport will be libfoo_1.2.3-3.backports.org.1, and you can raise the last number when you fix bugs in your backports.
