I hope not.  Time will tell.

So far I have backported pixman, cairo, poppler, evince and glib2.0, and 
am currently fighting with gtk2.0 (takes a long time and failed multiple 
times due to lack of disk space in my backport chroot).

Yes, I found out yesterday and released a new packaging version of 
sugar-0.86 which is now backported as well.

...and doing that I noticed that the old backport was not up-to-date, so 
probably the other backported Sugar parts also could use an update.

I dropped those and rely on the python-gnome2 fallback denṕendency for 
now.  I might try again when python-gnome2-desktop has been backported, 
if it turns out to be a big benefit with only using python-gconf.
