I have added to my sources.list the following line: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main
But according to http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/, that won't make the backport appear in interactive aptitude, or be automatically 'upgraded' to the backported version. To actually install the backport, I also have to add the phrase -t wheezy-backports to the install command. And I have to know that there is a backport for the particular deb in which I have an interest. I suppose I could try reading the debian-backports-announce mailinglist, but I am so seldom bothered with having the latest version that I can't believe I will do that. Is there also a simple list of backported debs that I can browse on the web to know what is available, or a wiki pointer? I'd rather not subscribe to another list and monitor it regularly just for the very rare occation when I actually need a backport.
