55. * Stop enabling backports by default ...

* Stop enabling backports by default (Closes: #764982). Rationale:
   - Packages in the base suite are preferred to the ones in the
     backports suite so one needs to specifically ask for the version
     from backports.
   - That isn't true for packages which are only available in the
     backports suite.
  This means one could possibly install such packages without even
  noticing they're not fetched from the base suite; and that seems
  a dangerous default.
