If you started with stable and then loaded testing packages but didn't
do a dist-upgrade, you probably have a stable/testing hybrid. If you
want to keep it that way but still get updates of testing packages with
apt-get, set up /etc/apt/preferences. See man apt_preferences. Also,
you can find a lot of messages on this in list archives.
