Testing with some Unstable
I am currently running a Debian testing system. I want to live on the
cutting edge with a couple of packages, particularly Sendmail right
now. When I run "aptitude install -t unstable sendmail libmilter1" I
get the following output:
The following packages have been automatically kept back:

The following packages will be upgraded:
libmilter1 sendmail
2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 103 not upgraded.
Need to get 433kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
I am assuming all of those packages have been updated in testing, but I
have not asked to install them. Would I be shooting off my foot with
just upgrading Sendmail and Libmilter from unstable but leaving
everything else from testing?
Thanks,
Jeff
