That is the trade-off you make by choosing to maintain as many
packages as you do. You can obviously either spend time contributing
stable backports upstream or time packaging software. Just accept
that, as with Debian itself, "stable" means OpenStack upstream makes
the bare minimum alterations necessary. This includes, in some
cases, continuing to test the software in those branches with
dependencies which were contemporary to the corresponding releases
rather than chasing ever changing behavior in them. Sometimes it is
done for expediency due to lack of interested volunteer effort, and
sometimes out of necessity because dependencies may simply conflict
in unresolvable ways.
