I've added a check to make sure this is only done for lenny and not for eg,
squeeze. I now see the user help in this feature, but I dislike that the user
is not asked. But being able to use the hardware is a feature many people
defnitly want ;-)
But I've got some more comments:

does this work non-interactivly? (installing a package from a new repo)
in general, what happens if backports.org is down or the latest kernel package
breaks installation, the code should make sure not to make the installation
fail. "|| true" at least.
also, if the installation of the kernel fails (because it's on another Debian
arch or whatever) backports.org should be removed from sources.list.
and i would really prefer a question using the debconf interface if this
should be done at all. some people prefer staying close to Debian, because
they dont use that feature of the hardware (for example, a mediapc with
unused wlan hw being used as server where a more stable kernel is more
important).

I'm still thinking about this. What do you think?
