Just noticed
    surf --version
doesn't work.


But aptitude indeed does tell me I'm using 0.6.

Looking at backports. Now have surf 0.7.

With the backports lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, will everything automatically
get upgraded to the backports version if I do
    aptitude update
    aptitude upgrade
?  I don't see anything in /etc/apt to stop this.  I'd like to be able to have some 
control over which packages I get from backports.


Or am I better off from a security perspective to always get backports updates for
everything?
