Sure. And even in various ways, including downloading deb and installing it
by hands. But debian way is simpler and better, see man apt_preferences.
Kernel is special, any regression users or developers not aware of, may
propagate for long time. And finally, when you catch something, the only
way is to contact upstream developers in lkml. I think, Debian Kernel
Team will be interested only in security stuff. So, deb kernel in Sid
is something in between.
