How about apt/adept/nautilus changes so that only packages installed from backports can be upgraded by backports. Then it would be safe to just enable the repository and install things you wanted from there. There would also need to be U/I to install from the regular distro repo if the backport was not wanted. I think that, more cleanly, gets at the heart of the matter. Packages not selected by the user to be installed from backports should not be upgraded from backports.
