Now after reading here

The use of testing or unstable is a lot of fun but comes with some
risks.
Even though the unstable suite of Debian system looks very stable for
most of the times, there have been some package problems on the
testing and unstable suite of Debian system and a few of them were
not so trivial to resolve. It may be quite painful for you. Sometimes,
you
may have a broken package or missing functionality for a few weeks.
I am thinking it may be better to leave it all stable, and do the pinning

after which I can do per the GNUmed wiki
apt-get -t testing install gnumed-client
because I assume the git-based version of GNUmed is run outside of the
packaging system.
Am I making sense, or do I misunderstand?
