Moving to Debian: updated software

I am looking for KDE 4.4.2 and Open Office 3.2 packages for Lenny. I
have found qt-kde.debian, Debian Experimental, Testing, Unstable, and
Backports. It looks to me that Backports is the best for an everyday
user who values stability, and prefers to use released software
version. Please let me know where I am mistaken. Thanks.
