I sometimes like to check the changelog first. Perhaps this will help:

	wajig news <pkgname>

will get the latest update of the pkg's changelog from
packages.qa.debian.org.

The next release of wajig (1.0.1) will support (it's already
implemented):

	wajig changelog <pkgname>

which will retrieve the whole changelog from
http://people.debian.org/~noel

Then if the package looks okay, you can:

	wajig install <pkgname>
