Yes. > If so, how? I strongly discourage split stable/unstable or stable/testing systems. Debian exists largely to resolve package deps. Suggested alternatives: - Upgrade your system(s) to testing or unstable. For most purposes, this works well. - Get your package source from the direct upstream source. This allows Debian to do what it does well: manage the vast majority of your system with minimal intervention on your part. There are various pinning options. They're relatively new, and I'd recommend other alternatives in th meantime. Peace. -- Karsten M.
