Bug Description

I'm using my PPA mostly for backporting and new packages. I will remove my backports if they are available in the official backport repository.... and sometimes my PPA depends on a package in that backport-repos.
Is it possible to add 'official backport-repos' as a dependency to a PPA? So there is no need to rebuild an already backported package anymore.

Example: https://launchpad.net/~misery/+archive/+build/664627

QT4.4 is already in official backport. I need to rebuild qt4.4 in my PPA to use it.
