I've not tested the upgrade process.  However, I backported the karmic 
packages to hardy using pbuilder and they run just fine on hardy.

The packages are in my repo if you want to test upgrading backuppc while still 
running hardy.  I am a firm believer in only running LTS releases on the 
server, and backporting what I need to update.

Repo details:

Using pbuilder:
