I haven't seen *any* backports of (ht)condor so far, and Tim T. is probably
too busy to build them.
Since it's a pity to have Buster supported with a fairly recent version, but
not Stretch, I'm attempting a "naive" backport (to Stretch only) right now,
but this beast takes a while - will be back tomorrow.

According to debian/changelog, the "packaging team" is at UWisc, not "at Debian".

BTW, there's a versioned conflict ("Breaks"/"Replaces") of htcondor against
condor <= 8.0.x - is this for real or "just forgotten"? IMHO this should be
<= ${binary:Version} (or whatever the syntax is now: htcondor shouldn't allow
anything condor next to it, except its own transitional package - which doesn't
exist anymore for 8.6)
