Hi list! On http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions the section about pinning is incorrect. You don't have to pin each backport individually, you can also use wildcards in /etc/apt/preferences to e.g. use always a package from backports (if it exists): Package: * Pin: release a=etch-backports Pin-Priority: 999
Many people don't want to pin their whole installation to whatever happens to be in backports though.
