[edit] /etc/apt/preferences

I have tweaked the preferences file so that the backports archive takes precedence. It normally has a very low priority, which keeps the system from installing software from it unless very specifically requested. Programs will normally only end up in backports when there is a compelling reason to upgrade them. I wish to stay very current on my filtering software. 

Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 999
