How to configure apt to get both?Add a separate line for each in either /etc/apt/sources.list or create files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/What should be /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/preferences?Depends on your preferences. If you want everything from -backports or -updates to overrule stable, then leave those alone.
backports will not install by default, you would have to override the default pinning if that's the desired outcome. An installed backport will upgrade to a newer backport by default.
