How do we support backporting ? What should the procedure be for that ?

[wsdookadr]

There are cases where we'll need to patch an older version, and we bump into backporting.

This is a situation where we would need this =>

So if we have the following chain of versions

• 0.1
• 0.2
• 0.3

We're currently using 0.3 , but then we decide that we should fallback to 0.2 but we need to apply some changes to it, then 0.2.1 will emerge from this so now we have

• 0.1
• 0.2
• 0.2.1
• 0.3

Request for comments (from a git point-of-view and a debian/changelog point-of-view )

P.S. This came about when we did massive refactoring in udp-filters and webstatscollector and then we went back to a previous version.
