You may also choose to backport sendmail or what-ever you want to use.. This
is what I do when I want to run something new on a stable dist..
add an untable deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get source <package>
cd <dir-of-unpacked-source>
do repeat:
check/edit debian/rules
check/edit debian/control
edit debian/Changelog to reflect your changes (for own pice of mind)
do 'dpkg-buildpackage'
go for a coffee/coke/smoke/beer/what-ever
:until succees
dpkg -i ../<package>.deb
cross fingers
I dunno what debian policy says about this, never read it.. but it works for
me.
