there are a ton of them. i don't have the changelog at hand, but one of the most important ones that comes to mind is the instrumentation items for the zabbix server itself (introduced in 1.8.6 off the top of my head) They allow for keeping track of how busy pollers and trappers are, which is extremely useful when determining how well your server is configured.
zabbix has not done a very nice job in versioning imho, the number of changes between 1.8.2 & 1.8.10 would have easily warranted a major version upgrade.
my apologies for the lack of references but i'm writing this on an overnight bus trip somewhere in nowhere-land Turkey ;-)

Hi,
I see absolutely nothing in the above changelog that would deserve a
backport (eg: no new features). I see only bug fixes, which should also
be fixed in Debian Stable ASAP (security fixes), or other bug fixes that
would be good candidates for proposed-updates (typo in synopsis,
#647458, etc.). Backports isn't the security updates repository...
So if there's still *other* differences between 1.8.2-1squeeze2 and
1.8.10-1 that deserves a backport, please list them.
