Take a look at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/05/msg01325.html
and in particular the "Stable + backports + simple sid backports"
section.

installing deb files from unstable or testing
Hi
> I meant "using testing and unstable packages in Lenny"..
There are two way2 to do the job:
backports (as Camaleón suggests)
apt-pinning (as John suggests)

As far as I understand, you would like to backport an unstable package
for your stable system.
Unless you don't want to pin your apt-get to unstable (or testing) do
the following (so did I many times before when I used stable):
Go to the debian unstable package *source* page and download manually
the appropriate source file, the *.dsc file and the diff.gz file into
an empty folder.
In this folder you do "dpkg-source -x *.dsc" and your build-folder will
be produced. In the root of this folder you make
"dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" and if all dependencies are met, you will
get a *deb file which can be installed on your system with
"dpkg -i *.deb" ( all commands without "" ).
If the build process fails, you will be warned for unmet dependencies
and sometimes the trouble begins! Maybe you even have to backport all
dependencies, which isn't a funny thing to do for the whole gtk for
example ;-) .

Wouldn't it be simpler to just add a deb-src line for unstable and
apt-get source package
?

Yes and no.
As I mentioned, you'll have to pin apt-get (source) to the right
distribution , that means sometimes unstable and sometimes testing.
Then you would do apt-get source [package]=unstable/testing for
downloading. But it would work indeed :-) .
