Backports.org is set as NotAutomatic repository, so a simple apt-get upgrade after adding it to your sources list won't get you the latest versions available on it. You must do a apt-get -t etch-backports install <package> or do the APT Pinning dance if you want automatic upgrades from bpo for that package, as explained at the bpo instructions page[1]. So, having your backports in bpo will only save your users from the pinning to make lenny not automatic.
