Install from unstable.
You can do this using pinning.
Add the 'unstable' sources to /etc/apt/sources.list.
Create an /etc/apt/preferences file as:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 950
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 750
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 400
Then:
# apt-get install -t unstable <packagelist>
Peace.
