Debian Developer here. Backporting fixes to tenths of thousands of packages is already a huge amount of (thankless) work.

But it's still done - as long as there's usually one version of a given library in the whole archive.

Imagine doing that for e.g. 5 versions of a given library, embedded in the sources of 30 different packages.

I'm sorry to hear that it's thankless. Thank you for doing it. It is one of the pillars of my sanity, and I am not exaggerating.
