Goodness, there was a thread on exactly this topic yesterday on debian-devel! Someone wrote a nice howto that I won't give you because I forget the URL. Essentially you write /etc/apt/sources.list as deb http://mirror/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://mirror/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://mirror/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://mirror/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://mirror/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://mirror/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free Obviously the non-us and non-free are optional, and you may need to change the paths slightly depending on your mirror. The real magic happens in the (probably new) file /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable Pin-Priority: 300 Hopefully the person who wrote the howto will see this message and send you the URL so you get a better description of why this is the way to do it.
