We hope it's safe to install, but XFree86 3.3.3 is still in unstable
branch in debian-jp, so it's not yet much tested.

You can use
deb ftp://ftp.debian.or.jp/debian-jp stable-jp main contrib non-free
or
deb http://www.debian.or.jp/debian-jp stable-jp main contrib non-free
Note that in stable-jp, there is the package with the same name of the
Debian hamm, IIRC libc6 with wcsmbs, man-db and so on, so be careful
to add stable-jp to your apt list.
Of course, you may replace stable-jp with frozen-jp (== slink-jp for slink)
or unstable-jp (== potato-jp for potato), and AFAIK frozen-jp and/or
unstable-jp does not contain the package with the same name of the
Debian slink and/or potato, so there is any problem like stable-jp, I think.
We've plan to release slink-jp, that is, change slink-jp from frozen-jp
to stable-jp, within atmost 1 month after slink is released.
