Seems to work for me when I install lone woody packages on my potato boxes.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to do this easily - there doesn't seem
to be any way to tell apt, "Keep the system up to date with potato, except
for packages foo, bar, and baz, which should be woody." The closest I've
come is:
- Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point at potato
- apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
- Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point at woody
- apt-get update ; apt-get install foo bar baz
