Backports is sometimes not a proper solution, because it causes upgrade
to all the newest versions of a lot of packages. For example, if user
wants to upgrade amarok but not kopete, he can do it using GetDeb, but
he cannot do it using backports (forget package pinning/repository
priorities, it is in no way intuitive and cannot be done by "average
users").

Just my 2c.
