I thought that a proper pinning setup (which is necessary with
backports all the same) wouldn't allow this.

Anyway, making a Lenny backport means creating a new branch, inventing
a new version number, rebuilding in a Lenny environment and uploading,
right?  It's pure administration, no techical work is needed, as far
as I know.  Which means I can't help with it.

The Etch backport is also ready, we have been using it for a while.
Tell me if I can be of any help.
