I guess you need a sponsor for this too, right? :)

What I noticed:

* I discurage using "debian/stable" as a branch name in git:
  + such naming should be reserved to stable uploads, which this isn't
    (being a backport)
  + "stable" changes over the history, if anything this should say
    "jessie"
  + summing up: please call that branch either
    "debian/jessie-backports" (this would follow DEP-11) or
    "jessie-backports"
* Uploads to backports don't close bugs, so even if you put a Closes:
  there you'd need to close this bug manually nonetheless

(on a related note, I also noticed only now that there is no upstream/*
tags metching the upstream releases; could you please add them too?)

(btw: no need to Cc the ML, it gets all the bug reports messagges
anyway, being the maintainer)
