I totally forgot about backports. Generally, including backports
repositories of the upgrade target (i.e., the suite being upgraded to)
is not a good idea. However, this situation would qualify as extenuating
circumstances. Plus, someone who manages a HA cluster almost certainly
has the skills to deal with the occasional minor hiccup assocaited with
mixing backports into an upgrade.
The only thing I would say is use apt "pinning" to prioritize the
backports repository lower than the other repositories so you don't
accidentally get backports for *everything* that has a backport
available.
