I maintain an apt-gettable repository of packages rebuild from unstable to stable, to maintain it I use a script written by me which use pbuilder and, obviously, a pbuilder stable chroot. You just have to download the package sources and invoke my script of the .dsc file, the script will rebuild the package for stable and also upgrade an apt-gettable repository adding to it the rebuilt package. You can add more automation to this stuff subscribing to the PTS for the package you are interesting in and use a procmail entry to rebuilt a package when a new release is available. You can find the script and the other stuff at http://people.debian.org/~zack/ocaml/rebuild_package.pl Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
