When I set up a new i486-system (i.e.32-bit-PC) yesterday, I had to add
backported
packages manually and take care about pinning the backports correctly, so that
they are
prioritzed over normal otherwise stable packages. When using Xubuntu
12.04.1-alternate in
expert-mode, the user is asked, If backported software should be included in the
installation, in fact this is even the default there, if you just press 'Enter'
at every
question asked. Probably using backported packages should not be the default in
debian,
but at least for expert-installations the user should be asked wether
backported packages
should be included or not and there should be taken care about appropriate
pinning of
those packages, I set them to a priority of 1001, which was fine.
In Ubuntu LTS the 3.5-series Quantal-kernel will even be made the default in
favour of
3.2 and it will be distributed as a security/stability update.
