As explained, putting in sid before the release is not possible.
However, the "problem" is already solved because it is available
in experimental. You can add experimental to your apt sources: no
packages from here will be installed unless you specifically
request them (command line options or pinning). For example:
apt-get install -t experimental linux-image-2.6.35-trunk-amd64
Note that "apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-trunk-amd64/experimental"
does not work as it needs to pull the dependencies (linux-base, ...) from
experimental, too.
I never search a pinning configuration for automatic updates (because
I prefer manually install kernel so I know I must reboot the machine)
but it should be possible.
