I think you might find http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index5h3
interesting, specifically point 4 - this would translate for you to:

1.20-29		-> unstable (source included)
1.20-29~bpo60+1	-> stable/squeeze
1.20-29~bpo50+1	-> oldstable/lenny

This naming sheme will guarantee that you can update your package correctly.

Kind regards
