Well, if you didn't mind compiling (which would probably be a good idea),
you could just specify the sid source four dec-src, and then use
apt-get -b source to make your debs. It should be relatively easy, as long
as the build dependancies are satisfied (which you'd have to do anyways, if
you wanted to compile the package by hand).
