ubuntu backports

Twice in the past wo weeks I have had a problem with backports in ubuntu. I am using edgy and I assume the backports are comming from fiesty.

The latest problem occurred when I updated democracytv and got conflicts involving python2.5. I reinstalled the prior version and all was well. Reinstalling the prior version was a snap with apt. I could have 'pinned' democracytv to that version, but instead I just commented out the backport entry in /etc/apt/sources.list. Since I am going to upgrade to fiesty fawn when it goes into production status I really have no nee for backports and they seem to be source of problems for me.
