You can also use 'apt-pinning' (Google it for a tutorial) to pull in
what you need from the other versions.  I don't recommend this for
beginners, because you can get yourself into dependency hell if you
aren't careful, but it can be useful if you really need something from
"unstable" but don't want to risk pulling in the whole system.  It's
common for the developers to randomly break parts of "unstable" for
periods of time.  "Testing" is usually pretty safe.
