trusty-backports has "NotAutomatic: yes"
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-backports/Release
Which means that, for binary packages at least, you have to explicitly
ask for them from -backports (or have that forced on you by package
relations). Does this not apply to source packages too?
If not, this might be an apt bug / feature request too.
(Just checked...
ubuntu@test:~$ apt-cache policy lxc
lxc:

So no, it doesn't.)
