From: Rogerio Luz Coelho on
Here is how you go about not damaging your system in ANY WAY:

Find a package/program in your distribution´s repository that suits you and
doesn´t come from Backports, Backporting stuff is almost running
Stable/Testing, somethings won´t matter ... but many will, I only recommend
Backports if you can´t have the program you want in Stable AND your boss is
threatning to fire you if you don´t use Backports (other cases just go
directly to Testing) ;-)
