Theres really no point to installing experimental packages to begin
with, let alone unstable.
But I guess people are desperate for 4.10 and I do sympathize. Just
thought I'd mention that.
These are after all:
"...a series of monthly stabilization updates to the 4.10 series".
Its really obvious that debian in its present state can't work with
that. However KDE fell way behind even when there was no freeze going on.
A "rolling release" repo dedicated to packages available for debian
stable and/or testing is what some people do behind the scenes impatient
on waiting for an "official" distro package.
I have this for a few packages, heres an example of a public one:
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ wheezy-pgdg main
This is official enough for me.
Theres a bigger issue here that I wont bother with ATM. But this is a
solution I support for non core lower level OS *longer shelf life*
critical libraries and applications that are better candidates for the
rigmarole of debian release cycle (perhaps a *hint* to the bigger issue).

Jules.
