+One of the goals of NeuroDebian_ is to provide recent versions of
+scientific software on stable Debian (and Ubuntu) deployments. That
+is why we build (whenever possible) every new package not only for the
+Debian unstable (the entry point of packages into Debian) but also for
+Debian testing and stable, and Ubuntu releases. To automate such
+procedure we prepared few rudimentary wrappers around cowbuilder_
+allowing to build packages in isolated environment. Also we provide a
+backport-dsc_ script to ease backporting with optional application
+per-release patchsets. In this blog post we would like to introduce
+you to these tools. They will be of use for anyone working on a
+package intended to be uploaded to NeuroDebian_ repository. With a
+single command you will be able to build a given Debian source package
+across distributions. As a result it verifies that there are no
+outstanding backport-ability issues or compatibility problems with
+core components (e.g. supported versions of Python) if your source
+package excercises test suites at build time.
