I want to install nodejs and nodejs-legacy packages available in wheezy-backports (i am running debian wheezy). Wheezy-backports repo is getting removed upon barracuda upgrade. I doing the following:

1) I add deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib non-free to sources.list file and run apt-get update.
2) I add nodejs and nodejs-legacy to _EXTRA_PACKAGES=
3) Run barracuda up-stable
4) nodejs does not get installed and the wheezy-backports repository is missing from sources.list.

How to install nodejs or any other package from backports. Does building from source only option.

How to retain backports repo and install and upgrade packages from the same upon running barracuda up-stabe.

You should add it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, but I can't guarantee how it will work. We don't test nor support backports.
