Re: staying in stable but compiling for sid

  You have several choices here:

    * Use pbuilder to setup a build environment.
      "heavyweight" but simple.

    * Use chroots for building.
      simple and well understood.

  These two choices suffer in that you can't get a graphical
environment within them.  So if you build a package for sid
which used Xorg you couldn't test it.

That's not exactly sure. You'll have a bit overhead but you can start X from a chroot. If you want, you can have a look at this:

Sorry, the explanation I did it in Spanish ( 
http://www.miriamruiz.es/weblog/?p=23 ) , but it's quite easy looking at the script.
