I decided to ask here because the "testing" version is still at
0.19-1. The "unstable" version is at 0.24-1, which is fresh enough for
my needs. However, I'm out of practice with apt, trying to recall if
it's possible to only expose my system to a select few packages from
"unstable" without dragging all the current "testing" packages into
the upgrade dance.

Thanks for this explanation. I will keep it handy for experimentation.
