Put in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian             stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian             testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian             unstable main contrib non-free

Put in /etc/apt/apt.conf:

APT::Default-Release "stable";
APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;

Do: apt-get update

Then: apt-get install rosegarden
or:   apt-get install rosegarden/testing
      apt-get install rosegarden/unstable
