bpo may contain some updated packages that are in the minimal squeeze
chroot. in a squeeze->bpo test these updates may be pulled by some
package (use case: soemthing depends on the newer insserv from
backports) but not when upgrading the reference system from squeeze to
bpo (because we don't use dist-upgrade -t )

This is not a problem for squeeze2bpo2wheezy, but for just testing the
backported package in squeeze
