+I still can't see how are you going to solve this case:
+I have backports enabled. There are packages that are newer than the one in release. I
+haven't installed them. Now new update requires such package that is both in release and in
+backports. Update will pull package from enabled backports as they are newer - i didn't want
+that. And you can't just submit new backport that blocks it. Older backports are still
+there. So you can install those if new backport doesn't work for you (the same we have for
+updates at the moment).
