[Bug 840135] Re: oneiric-backports enabled by default in software-properties

[Stefano Rivera]

This was by design, as backports are now safe to have enabled for
everyone. apt won't install anything from backports without the user
requesting it. And will install updates for packages already installed
from backports.

bof

The related UI changes (not done yet)
