lenny + lenny-backports to squeeze + squeeze-backports. lenny-backports is
meant only for packages from squeeze, even after the release.”

I don’t understand this at all. As we are just about to be upgraded to Squeeze, we need to understand why we need to take ‘sloppy’ now rather than wait for the release and upgrade to squeeze-backports.

I don’t understand, using synaptic, whether upgrades that affect my installed system, not related to security, would be installed automatically, or how I would otherwise know when and how to upgrade my system.

Would it also not be better to do one post for users and another for package maintainers?
