Since questions still follow: more of "in addition" for various
reasons:
- those are 'automated' backport builds, so whenever uploaded to Debian
-- uploaded to NeuroDebian. I consider Debian's backports more
"thorough" and "involving" (to say -- I would trust them more ;) )
- for all Debian and Ubuntu releases from the same repo (Canonical's
PPAs are only for Ubuntus, Debian's backports are only for Debians)
