Try the Debs at the following apt URI
deb http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/ stable-update/
Or you can add
deb-src ftp://ftp.es.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
to your apt sources.list file and build the debian binary using the
'apt-get -compile source <package>' method which has been disucussed
