Debian/Ubuntu backports potentially affect the whole system, so almost
every user will only want to pick a package or two, not all of them.
Also, the point of those "NotAutomatic" flag was that you can even add
the apt source by default everywhere.

Most PPAs, as well as apt.pg.org are "topic" repositories which IMHO you
would usually enable because you want to use them.
