&gt;<i> So the path would then be */updates_testing -&gt; */updates _if_ we

</I>As I see it, it's the only user friendly way. Using backports is fine 
for experienced users who do know what to install from backports or 
who are capable of facing the consequences.
If a total newbie asks fort a package in the forums and is pointed to 
backports he is in great danger of wrecking his system by installing 
some new kernel, graphics driver, desktop or whatever, precisely 
because there is no real qa on backports.
