I personally think this is not the way it should be, but for the time being it is sufficient to just download the linux-kbuild-2.6.32 package from testing and install it.
This one scenario has been my only real problem with using
backports.org so far. Dependencies like linux-kbuild-2.6.32 and
"matching set" packages need to be grandfathered into lenny-backports
for one major and obvious reason - we use backports and not testing.
Changing /etc/apt/preferences and sources.list in order to make
package downloading from the testing pools would complicate lots of
things as well as expose new testing packages to a lenny base which
would inadvertently request installation of libraries and dependencies
outside of lenny/lenny-backports.
