As others have pointed out, you aren't going to see it in backports
until it's in testing. And once it's in testing it's often very easy
just to dpkg-buildpackage yourself under Lenny unless it has any
dependencies against newer packages.

It also might not be too hard to debianify 5.0.3 yourself if the file
layout is not different from 5.0.2. I've done that before with the 3.x.y
series when I needed a specific feature from a newer release. Basically
start with the 5.0.3 tree then download the Debian patch to it, and
modify the files in the Debian directory to reflect the newer version
numbers.
