Package: release-notes
Version: 5.0.1
Severity: normal


http://wiki.debian.org/Etch2LennyUpgrade section "Backports" says:

   If you do not use one of these exceptions, you can safely upgrade to lenny.
   If you use one of these exceptions, set the pin-priority (see man
   apt_preferences) temporarily to 1001 for all packages from etch, and you
   should be able to do a safe dist-upgrade too. 

The corresponding paragraph in "4.2.5.1. Using backports.org packages"
of http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
says:

   If you do not use one of these exceptions, you can safely upgrade to lenny.
   If you use one of these exceptions, set the Pin-Priority (see
   apt_preferences(5)) temporarily to 1001 for all packages from lenny, and
   you should be able to do a safe dist-upgrade too. See the backports FAQ. 

Note that one says to pin etch, the other says to pin lenny.

http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faq (the backports FAQ) says:

   If you do not use one of these exceptions, you can safely upgrade to etch.
   If you use one of these exceptions, set the pin-priority (see man
   apt_preferences) temporarily to 1001 for all packages from etch, and you
   should be able to do a safe dist-upgrade too.

But the backports FAQ says it is talking about upgrading from sarge-backports
to etch.
   
So, I'm guessing that it means to pin the version that you're upgrading TO, but
I'm not sure.  Please fix these documents to be consistent.
