Having backports in the name (sarge/backports or sarge-backports) sounds
better to me.  When etch ships we'll have linux-2.6 under dists/etch
(under current conventions) - if we wanna add a backport of a newer
version, we'll have a namespace conflict.  (Ok, that's a ways in the
future, but...)

They are also pretty descriptive names which should help avoid
confusion.
