Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing"),
adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable.

“Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe,
which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain
and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched--love for instance--
we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.” - Virginia Woolf, The Waves
