I think that you'll find that you'll need to open the multivers lines:

#deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main 
restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main 
restricted universe multiverse

Just uncomment those lines in your sources and you should find it.  
Standard "you might break your system/not well tested 
packages/blah,blah,blah"...
