apt-get? non stable debs?

[Mike Egglestone <megglestone@heritage.sd57.bc.ca>]

Hi,
What would one do if they were running a "stable" box, and wanted
a package that was only offered in "testing" or "unstable"?

Would you edit your sources.list to point to "testing"...
apt-get update
apt-get install packagename
edit sources.list back to "stable"...
apt-get update

Is there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks
Mike
