I am not sure about this, but I seem to remember fro somewhere that
which backports repository apt-get/aptitude will use to find a given
package depends on the order they are listed in sources.list. If
mozilla.debian.net precedes backports.debian.org, apt-get/aptitude will
take iceweasel 4 instead of 3.5.  Since iceweasel 4 seems to be the only
package in mozilla.debian.net, all other backported packages will come
from backports.debian.org.  I have not yet upgraded to squeeze; so I
cannot check this hypothesis.  Perhaps someone can verify whether I am
correct or am talking through my Hat -- Red or Fedora.

Reagrds, Ken
