I'll add some woody lines to /etc
If you don't want to upgrade fully to Woody, add the _sources_ line, not the binaries, and then recompile the new version for Potato. so add deb-src instead of deb (the rest of the line is the same for whatever mirror you use) then do apt-get source --compile <package> and it will get and compile a new deb. Keep in mind, you might need to upgrade a library or 2 also. Then dpkg -i <packagenameversion.deb> Keep in mind that you will be getting sources for Woody, so if you need one of the Potato sources, you will have to either change the sources line, or manually get it.
