Reassigning to apt-setup. Please note that recent discussions in -devel have raised the fact the backports are not automatically upgradable, which many people see as a problem wrt security. This probably needs to be addressed in the backporits repository before we think about proposing adding backports through D-I. Volatile could be added in a way similar to the way we currently propose non-free and contrib, though. However: post-squeeze, please.
