Why backports packages not deactivated
I've been following the "Debian Backports - Instructions"
at http://www.backports.org/instructions.html
to use backports so as to _deactivate_ all packages from
backports.org by default. However, I noticed that at least one
package is automatically updated from sarge to backport.
First of all, I've done all the settings required in the instruction:
$ grep backports /etc/apt/sources.list
# backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main
$ grep -1 backports /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
This is the to-be-wrongly-updated package:
$ apt-cache policy hplip-ppds
hplip-ppds:
Installed: 0.9.3-3
Candidate: 0.9.7-3bpo1
Version Table:
0.9.7-3bpo1 0
200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages
*** 0.9.3-3 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
It will be automatically updated from sarge to backport.
Why?
How can I prevent it?
thanks
FYI, Its "Reverse Depends" are:
hplip-base
hplip
hpijs
And none of the above depends will be updated:
$ apt-cache policy hplip-base
hplip-base:
Installed: 0.9.3-3
Candidate: 0.9.3-3
Version Table:
*** 0.9.3-3 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ apt-cache policy hplip
hplip:
Installed: (none)

$ apt-cache policy hpijs
hpijs:
