We already have priorities in Debian packages, so this would be
no big difference.
Looking at security: In the suggested scheme it would be
easier to update an insecure package hosted in main. An
explicit backport from testing to stable wouldn't be necessary,
since the packages in main/testing are supposed to be backward
compatible to stable on binary level. Its 1 source package to
update, not 2.
