Trying to do this and running into my apt-ignorance, I think.  I took
Brendan's list of mirrors and chose a line for my sources.list file, for
example:

deb http://people.brainfood.com/~doogie/x4.2/mirror sid/i386 /

...but 'apt-get update' gripes as follows:

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.brainfood.com sid/i386// Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/people.brainfood.com_%7edoogie_x4.2_mirror_dists_sid_i386___binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

I don't normally install packages from outside a given release of the
distro, so this sort of thing is new to me.  Have I missed something?
So far I've tried two different mirrors with similar results.

Thanks,
