That's your own fault! If you are that experienced that you can build you own packages you probably should know that the vast majority of packages from potato compiles fine under slink. It is as easy as 'apt-get -b source <package>' If you have a recent enough apt to recognize the source switch and a properly set up /etc/apt/sources.list.
OTOH why not use the prebuild packages from unstable? They will not be more unstable than newer upstream-source...
