Later, they migrate to Testing, and once in a while, Testing becomes Stable. There is an exception, though: security updates, which are built to fix a bug in Stable, but in the same time, they are meant to be as close to the original package as possible.
Of course, you could consider that a package already in Testing or Stable is meant to be built on it (as it is there, there is probably great chances that it also builds). And backports are (most of the time) special packages modified from Unstable only to build cleanly on Stable. They are not official in any way, though. Hope it helped. > Priti
