Well,
It's the backporters job to make sure its fixed for security issues as
stated by:
* if you backport anything, (regardless if you are the real
maintainer or not) you accept the responsibility of
handling the bugreports against the backport and make sure
it gets patched (or upgraded) to get security fixes.
It's not supposed to be flagged as an update repo as that would make it
upgrade all packages it find in the system with matching backports packages.
So we need to either create a "backports update applet" or extend
current update applet.
(or "worst case" until we get it automated tell the user of backported
packages to make sure they check if a new/fixed rpm is available in
backports)
And there will still be some advisory notifying people of new backports,
just like we do for security and bugfix updates now.
