It seems like there are enough posts about this to warrant an entry on
the http://www.debian.org/releases/ page.  Something like "drawing from
multiple releases can cause serious trouble for your system and is not
for the faint of heart.  Please don't do this unless you have a great
deal of experience with apt and dpkg and have a strong grasp of how the
debian package system works."
