Yes, but it had the major downside that I wasn't able to create
backported AMD64 packages when I wasn't at work (like now), and
backports.org is well known and provides the build infrastructure to
support a lot of architectures we couldn't support ourselves.

Hmm? In theory, the arch-amd64 packages should have been built
automatically by the backports.org build infrastructure, but it seems
they were not.
I'm Cc'ing Norbert Tretkowski so he learns about the issue and perhaps
is able to fix it (or rectify a misunderstanding I might have with the
way backports.org is working).

BTW: While I wanted to check for your full name, I noticed that your
domain fit-spielmittel.de isn't registered to you, but to somebody else
(Markus Doetsch). Unless you had good reason to do that, I just wanted
to note that this can get pretty nasty if you ever use the domain
extensively and for some reason get into trouble with the real domain
holder.
