I have them enabled on stable Squeeze system and I know some other
people too and we haven't experienced any problems.
By default when you add the backports sources.list line, nothing is
installed from it automatically unless you run "aptitude install -t
squeeze-backports <package>".
We have also set backports to priority 500 so everything is installed
from them automatically if it contains newer packages than Squeeze
main repositories. Note that some people say that this is more
dangerous than running Debian Unstable (currently Wheezy) and you are
doing this with your own risk.
Our sources.list lines:
```
deb http://http.debian.net/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
contrib non-free
```
Our /etc/apt/preferences.d/backports:
```
Package: *
Pin: release a=squeeze-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
```
Remember that you are enabling Backports with your own risk in case
you decide to enable them.
