Congratulations!

Now, before installing the resulted backported package, you need to
rebuild it again :)

It is necessary to use specially crafted package version for backported
packages to avoid difficulties on upgrade.

fire up "dch -i" (if you don't know vi, read below). In the new stanca
change the version to "1.5.3.4870-11~0.sarge.1". Also describe the
change as (example) "Rebuild for sarge" Save and rebuild.

Install resulting packages with dpkg -i as usual.

If you're not fluent with vi, type ":wq" (that is a collon 'w', 'q') and
press enter. Then edit debian/changelog with your favourite editor.
