Installing a Lenny package to an Etch machine

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Greetings

I am wanting to install Homebank on an Etch machine. Trouble is, it 
looks like it is only available for testing/Lenny and Sid.

http://homebank.free.fr/index.php?id=20
http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/homebank.html

Is it best to simply give this a miss, or to download a tar ball and 
convert it to a deb package via (is it) alien? Or, can one install a 
testing package on a stable machine?

Cheers for your input

A
