I've never used backports. What packages are there that you
use/need/want that
is newer/better than what you get out of Lenny??
For me, it's the mldonkey package (the backports version has support
for more p2p protocols). However, I think the backports maintainers
don't recommend using backports as a general catch-all, but preferably
for specific packages only. For example, I once installed a backports
kernel (2.30 and something) just for the heck of it, and discovered
that it didn't have support for the proprietary fglrx ATI driver, so it
was of no use to me. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend pinning backports
with a higher priority to anybody but those who know extremely well
what they're doing. On the other hand, those who know extremely well
what they're doing have no need of my recommendations or advice anyway

Just my 2 ยข.
