That doesn't work, all binary packages built from a single source need to go to the same distribution, and move from unstable to testing together. So I have to change my suggestion. The exim4 packages have the infrastructure to build a exim4-daemon-custom which is not built by default. But people are able to activate exim4-daemon-custom by throwing a magic switch in debian/rules. Maybe it would be a good idea to prepare the source package to build a munin-plugins-contrib binary package, but not enabling that binary package by default. By allowing this, the munin package could be built locally with munin-plugins-contrib enabled, while leaving munin and munin-node functionally and content-identical to the "official" packages. I find this a good idea, judging from the experience I have made with exim4. I can deliver a patch if you want me to.
