Note that its quite easy with Debian to run the testing version and have just a
couple of packages from unstable. This is what I do. Only emacs-snapshot (aka
emacs 22) is running from unstable, everything else is from testing. the
apt-get (and aptitude, dselect, etc) are able to handle this automatically. So,
when doing an update, it updates everything from testing except emacs-snapshot,
which it updates from unstable.
Just mentioning it as its a handy feature when you want to run with the latest
'unstable' package, but don't want to run a system that is based on the
unstable branch for everything. You do need to make some minor changes in the
apt config, but these are very basic and I can supply them if you like.
