 Erm, please no, like russ pointed out already, that would destroy the
sorting order.

 Also, I'm not 100% convinced that wheezy should ship with dch doing
backports to wheezy.  This somehow doesn't make that much sense to me.
Having dch in unstable (and then jessie) produce wheezy-backports and
~bpo70 as default is fine and correct, but having a wheezy environment
produce that I'm not totally convinced.  I rather expect developers to
use either testing or unstable for their developing environment and thus
it is enough to have the next release version of dch/devscripts produce
wheezy-backports.

 Just my 0.02 EUR,
Rhonda
