Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to have the following contents:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
Then run the apt commands mentioned previously to install the packages you
want from unstable. Newer packages will always be prioritized over older
packages, so it is fine having both testing and unstable listed as repositories
at the same time.
I notices that repos can have multiple version of the same package.
And that it picks the newest from the set of repos. Also allows installing
a specific older version. Thats the same as the RPM world.
Then edit the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list to be the following:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
I'm adding repos to /etc/apt/source.list.d/<reponame>.list
Then I can do mv to .list.disabled to drop the repo without editing the
lines.
FYI in the Fedora world this is built into the tooling.
A .repo file has an "enabled=" attribute. For testing repos its set to 0.
Then to install all you need to do is this.
$ dnf install --refresh --enablerepo=*testing <package-of-interest>
The --refresh does the "apt update" dance.
The commented out line removes the unstable repository, but makes it easy to
add back in whenever you need it.

I need to install pyqt qsci to test the built code anyway so…
What is the stanza to get to these debs please?
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
So essentially these two lines where sid replaces the distribution name
bookworm
Hope this helps,
