As far as I can see REAL basic is proprietary software. Ubuntu can't include software in any repository unless it's fully and freely redistributable.

Also the backports are only for software that is currently in the development version which there is demand for in one of the supported versions.

An application has to be in ubuntu 6.10 before it can be included in 6.06 or previous via backports.
