From http://backports.org/debian/dists/lenny-backports/Release:

Join the dots from there.
The bug report didn't include my apt_preferences, which contains:
Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
Which almost certainly doesn't do what you want, as per apt_preferences(5).
If I didn't override the Pin-Priority, then "NotAutomatic: yes" would
give it a Pin-Priority of 1, right? That, as per apt_preferences(5),
causes a version to be installed only if there is no installed version
of the package.
This isn't what I want. I want to install something from backports,
then track updates in backports, so I set the Pin-Priority to 200,
which, as per apt_preferences(5), causes a version to be installed
unless there is a version available belonging to some other distribution
or the installed version is more recent.
But we digress. How can I use puppet+apt to track backports for some
packages, while using official debian repos for most packages?
Thanks,
Jayen
