It appears the apt from oneiric (that will be the base for the upgrade) can calculate the upgrade. The upgades does not use the backport yet unfrotuantely.

@Steve: Yes, once the release-upgader-{apt,python-apt} packages in lucid-proposed get accepted and the new release upgrader is uploaded, this should start working.
