Mmm, depends on what your goal is, but as far as I know backports is not 
suitable to be used like that.

In fact, the latest recommendation[1] is to not pin at all, since 
backports has priority 100 by default, which is enough to have 
backported packages upgraded (in case of bugs), but otherwise the system 
stays stable[2]

[2] ... as in the stable release/version/distribution, not "not 
crashing" stable ;)

Kind regards,
Andrei
