Maybe re-edit sources.list so that both testing and unstable are
available...

you can then do:

	apt-get --reinstall install <package>/testing

if something in unstable is too badly broken for you
(once in the last 4 months on this system, ymmv).

also...
If you setup pinning to prefer testing, you will want to fetch
packages from unstable periodically (e.g., security upgrades).
