Wow, that's now unclear to me.
Can someone "develop with current versions from Debian/unstable",
package missing dependencies (which if I understand correctly go into unstable)
and then use those packages on a Debian/testing or Debian/stable system?
What if perl has been upgraded between those?
I know so little about Debian (and every other distro).
