You can do clever stuff so that your 'core' release is stable, but you can still have some packages from other groups. Mail me and I'll send you what I use.
most people do that with a testing/unstable mix rather than stable/testing, afaik (could be wrong, but I'd have thought that was the better way, and I certainly wouldn't mix stable and testing on our servers, though I do every now and again have to backport some things from unstable and keep my eyes open so that I can roll new packages when there's a security alert :)
When mixing testing and unstable are you able to make use of the package tools like apt-get, aptitude etc. to sort out dependancies. How do you configure two package sources without everything getting upgraded to the source with the newest version, i.e. unstable?
