This is extremely foolish.  Partial upgrades are not nearly so well
tested.  And while Debian attempts to support partial upgrades from
one stable release to the next (oldstable/stable or
stable/testing/unstable), we explicitly do not support skipping a
release, which is what you are doing by mixing oldstable and unstable.

If you still insist on mixing oldstable and unstable, use a staging
server and pay a consultant to support it.
