The problem with this approach is that the latest versions of many packages don't have their versions in their filenames; e.g. xchat.info in 10.3/stable gives you version 2.0.9-21, but xchat.info in 10.3/unstable gives you 2.0.10-21. And in any case, it's better not to mess with .info files in the stable and unstable trees directly, because it can lead to update problems down the road--the local tree is immune to that.
But then I don't know how install a single package from unstable. Maybe you could divide 5.8 into two answers and then split them into a step by step instruction? I think they are a bit messy;-)
