On this one point, I'd like to mention that "optional newer version of ... " 
is exactly what we've oriented backports towards.  Since we've implemented the 
NotAutomatic feature (I think it was Maverick, but definitely before Precise) 
we can put newer versions of packages into backports and users only get the 
newer version when they request it.

I believe that we have infrastructure and process largely in place to address 
this point already.
