Hello Perry,
I'm not sure if you should proceed or not. Generally, the "apt-get
-t sid" command you ran simply installs a binary from sid, which is
different than porting a package from unstable sources to the stable
system. These are two very different things (though you also have the
"build-dep" command there, so I'm not sure). Anyway, I would not
proceed.
If you have an unstable/sid "deb" repository, rather than the "deb-src"
repository listed in your sources.list, then I would comment it out.
Get the proper deb-src repository listed (which is listed in the
following url).
The stuff I took from the manual is at http://tinyurl.com/3qkl88x
Try what it says (though don't worry about the "$ dch -i" step, and run
the "apt-get build-dep" step with sudo, as you would with the other
commands that are preceded with a hash-tag).
Good luck.
Mark
