Is it necessary for me to first add an "unstable" entry or set of
entries to my sources.list file? When I run the simulated/dry-run
version of the install command, using aptitude, it warns

,----
| Unable to find an archive "unstable" for the package "monotone"
`----

Running apt-get similarly, I see the following:

Note that the monotone entry is still labeled as the "testing"
version.
