Of course to unstable, there is no such thing like a mixed
distributions. Or rather should not, because it gets even more unstable
than plain unstable. I personally discourage it strongly.
I don't think that it would be good thing to resolve this wish. I know
what you are longing to (like, from your example:
[depends] initrd-tools (>= 0.1.48) (testing, unstable)
[depends] coreutils (testing, unstable)
or fileutils (>= 4.0) (stable, testing, unstable)
... and so on)
It would become a real mess, and the packages pages aren't really meant
as a frontend to package gathering.

Have you taken a look at apt-zip? That might help you in that respect
quite well.
Have fun,

schon alleine der Akt des Niederdrückens der Shifttaste sollte den Menschen
bewusst machen, dass sie etwa Illegales tun.
