+IMO an easy management is having only one repository, e.g. just backports.
+Official release exits without backports, so backports are a special
+"update", any fixing/security/new version update needed here can override 
+the previous backported package itself, so only last version on backport 
+is available.

+Is that correct? well thinking of installing the previous version in 
+case of problem, i'd say no. But since backports are officially maintained 
+a problem seen by an user means a problem that has to be fixed and the
+fixing released. In this case i'd say yes, it's correct.
