Having a mixed setup is a delicate thing.  With a preferences file similar to 
this, you can only pull in packages from Sid that you want (and that the 
package demands):

jasonb@nebula:~/src/pdfleech$ cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 777

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 333

Then, do an apt-get -t unstable install [package]

It's worked well for me over the past six months.

This is true.  You have to build KDE3 from sources yourself to use both side 
by side.
