By default backports will only show in the package information as a different version that you can install[1]. However, don't forget aptitude is highly configurable. For example changing the default grouping policy to something like this may achieve what you want: Aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping "task,status,pattern(?archive(backports)=>Packages with backports,!?archive(backports)=>Packages without backports),section(subdirs,passthrough),section(topdir)"; (or press Shift-g in interactive mode and add the "pattern..." part) For more details see aptitude's reference manual (package aptitude-doc-en).
