.deb packages query.

[Dave Selby <dave_arahan@yahoo.co.uk>]

I run woody and love its stability, I don't want to goto testing or 
unstable. Sometimes I want to use software that is more up to date than 
woody, an example being a more recient version of wine.

There are .deb packages avalible but I never use them because I am 
concerned that apt-get will pull in updated libs, etc, etc and before I 
know it I will be running half testing !

Is there a way of finding out if a .deb is safe to use without pulling 
in loads of updates ?
