Upgrade instructions
--------------------

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed  backports will be installed automatically:

  Package: *
  Pin: release a=etch-backports
