I take the "kitchen sink" approach and list all the sources I can 
find.  I then use /etc/apt/preferences to set the default packages to 
"stable" and use aptitude to manually select a working combination 
using testing/unstable as required.  I'm running 0.18.1-5, I think...

# /etc/apt/sources.list
