Relationship between sid and sarge



Is the difference in major versions of glibc the reason there have been
so few package migrations from sid to sarge recently?

Specifically, I'm interested in getting a later verrsion of gaim into
sarge because the current version in sarge (0.58) has a bad segfault bug
in the Yahoo chat plugin that was fixed in the version that exists in
sid (0.59.5).  Unfortunately, the difference in glibc between sid and
sarge keeps me from downloading the sid package and installing it with
dpkg.

Is there a way, short of dist-upgrading to sid, that I can install the
sid package and the pacakges it depends on without breaking my sarge
installation?  Sid's just a wee bit too bleeding-edge for my tastes.

TIA,
