Is there any disadvantage of using backports! Also, how can I install a
package from backport (if required) without adding and backports repo to my
sources.list file
OR
How can I disable further usage of backports without harming other packages?

If backports are safe, please advice about how to use Backports
efficiently. Googling seems to confuse me! :/
