Shouldn't this depend on "integrate" rather than on existence?

Ah, this is what you were alluding to in the commit log? The fact that
you hardcode "backports/" into this? IMHO it would make more sense to
pass in the "base" directory (either "backports/" or "") though, instead
of making *that* depend on the existence of the directory as well.

Remember, the existence check here serves to remove includes that cannot
be satisfied; your existence check mixes in the differentiation between
packaged and integrated, which doesn't seem right.

Regardless of whether you make the "backports/" prefix configurable or
not, you should pass it to this library function and use it
unconditionally instead of trying to determine package vs. integrated
from the existence of directories.

same here.
