Hi,

I'm running Etch (testing) and needed a few components from unstable.  I 
added unstable to my sources list and in Synaptic set my preferences to 
"prefer" testing.  If you're not using Synaptic, maybe other package 
managers would provide the same functionality and since apt is used by 
any (?) package managers there must be a selective option in such 
(though I have not looked for it). 

HTH,
