Nothing in particular. Just "in general." For example say, in the
future, a particular version of an app from Stable repo is giving me
trouble or I need some feature(s) that's only in a newer version, and
I want to search ONLY backports to see if the newer version is there
before I go elsewhere. That's all I was thinking.

I have very limited experience with aptitude. Have always used
apt-get. So, I guess, I've got some studying to do.
Thanks for the info.
