First note that I fixed the version number for the backport. The right
suffix for jessie-backports is ~bpo8+1. See http://backports.debian.org
/Contribute/
If you want to be sure to get it right, you can use "dch --bpo".

However I was not able to build the package. I got a segfault in
the __osmesa_print__.cc test. See the attached build log.

The error occurred when building with sbuild. I did not try with
pbuilder. If you have trouble reproducing it, please let me know, and
I'll investigate with my own setup.

Actually the BTS does not know about backports, and should not be used
for reporting problems with the backports.

So #798427 should have not been opened in the first place (except if
the problem was affecting a version in stable/testing/unstable). IMHO
it can be closed right now.

For #793107, there are two options. Either we plan to fix it in stable,
and we have to wait for that fix before closing it (but I'm not sure
this bug is worth a stable update). Or we don't plan to fix it in
stable, and we can close it now, since it is fixed in unstable. At any
rate, jessie-backports has nothing to do with it.

Cheers,
