Title:
  Make it clear that -proposed is less safe than -backports

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently it is too easy to select the proposed repository without
  realizing that it contains potential regressions (as uploads are
  untested).  Similarly, backports is a bit too scary as it's
  "unsupported", when in truth it's about as well supported as universe
  (ie "supported by the community").  The text should be updated to
  something a bit more helpful.
