If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the package
manually via "apt-get -t lenny-backports install <packagelist>" with
the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new
versions of installed backports will be installed automatically.
