You may wish to include an /etc/apt/preferences.d/iceweasel [1] file in your backported software, but I wonder if that would be a really good idea, if that would be enough to achieve your purpose, and if that would be safe of unwanted side effects. 1: $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/iceweasel Package: iceweasel Pin: release a=squeeze-backports Pin-Priority: 500 Regards David
