With the new apt in testing this is no longer a problem. You can
select the kernel-image-* packages from unstable by adding the
following lines to your /etc/apt/preferences file[1], and add
unstable to your apt sources[2].
Package: kernel-image-*
Pin: release a=unstable,o=Debian
Pin-Priority: 100
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable,o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

[1] This file is documented by apt_preferences(5). If it does not
yet exist on your system, create it.
[2] This does mean that you have to townload twice as much data
on apt-get update, But if you want to test the latest kernels
anyways, this won't be too much, I think.
