You can do this using pinning. Add the 'unstable' sources to /etc/apt/sources.list. Create an /etc/apt/preferences file as: Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 950 Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 750 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 400 Then: # apt-get install -t unstable <packagelist> Peace. -- Karsten M.
