There won't be any backport of 5.0.3 in lenny-backports until 5.0.3 is
in Debian testing (or at least unstable in some cases) AFAIK.  As Debian
is frozen right now, it seems unlikely that this will happen before the
"squeeze" release.  You should also be careful with the 5.0.2-1 version
if you use Postgres: it broke my database on upgrade.  This is fixed in
5.0.2-2 which is not (yet?) in the backports.  See also
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591293 which seems to
include a workaround.

HTH,
Tobias
