You can happily point your system at standard Debian mirrors and do a
'apt-get update' 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to use more recent Debian
packages. You will most likely want the 'unstable' branch of Debian in
that case.
Find the nearest mirror at http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist and a
good look around the Debian site will help you out in configuring your
system to use the Debian mirrors - basically adding a couple of new
lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list .
