This is cool! I was not aware it existed. Could you (or someone else)
send a PR on GitHub to have the Debian stable backports added to
https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Install-Guide/Community_Packages/ ?
("Edit on GitHub" in the upper right corner of the page.)

Thanks,
Niels

I wasn't aware of it either.

I agree that Debian needs to better advertise the availability of
backports.debian.org, but the Community_Packages page isn't the right
place IMO.

Perhaps we should have a separate Distribution_Packages page where
things like backports.debian.org can be documented.
