It seems sane, and I can see how/why you're doing it that way.  I'm
not very keen on the backports (perhaps just from being burned by
debian, maybe not rational?) repository... is there an easy way for
someone like me running a stock ubuntu "current" + mythbuntu to get
.21?

The way I see it my options are
-wait until 8.04
-download the files from the backports repo and install them manually
-play with pinning and prios so that backports will be in my system,
but NOTHING non-myth will be installed from it

Is #3 my winner?  If so, does anyone know enough about apt pinning to
help me make a config that will work?
