+Jim is right; rpmdrake treats "backports" in a special way, and they
+do get updated even when they're disabled. urpmi won't install
+packages from them by default (unless you explicitly enable them or
+use e.g. 'urpmi --searchmedia Core\ Backports'); rpmdrake can show
+packages from "disabled" backports repos when you select the
+"Backports" filter, assuming they were correctly updated by mgaonline
+which is what mgaonline does by default.
