The "BOINC/Development" page has been changed by SteffenMoeller:
http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC/Development?action=diff&rev1=93&rev2=94

  
  We are steadily following upstream's releases. Below the ToDo lists of the packaging branches:
    * [[http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-boinc/boinc.git;a=blob;f=debian/TODO.Debian|TODO.Debian in master branch]]
+ 
+ == Backporting ==
+ 
+ ''not working atm (3/2012)''
+ 
+ There is yet not BOINC package in Debian backports. Here is to create one for it
+ 
+ Retrieve old source code {{{
+ git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-boinc/scripts.git
+ cd scripts
+ ./export-boinc -r 6.12.43
+ mv ./boinc_6.12.43+dfsg.orig.tar.gz ..
+ cd ..
+ }}}
+ 
+ Untar it and get current Debian build instructions in {{{
+ tar xzvf ./boinc_6.12.43+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
+ git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-boinc/boinc.git
+ cd boinc-6.12.43+dfsg
+ cp -r ../boinc/debian .
+ }}}
+ 
+  * edit debian/changelog
+  * libnotify remains with 0.5
+   * ##libnotify-0.7.patch in debian/patches/series
+   * adjust build-dependency in debian/control
+  * adjust debian/patches/series
+   * {{{
+ export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
+ }}}
+   * while quilt push -a; do echo kick out what fails; done
+   * Remove/uncomment boinc-server-maker from debian/control
+ 
+ So, it seems like those backports are closer to upstream than anyone may expect.
