If you started with stable and then loaded testing packages but didn't do a dist-upgrade, you probably have a stable/testing hybrid. If you want to keep it that way but still get updates of testing packages with apt-get, set up /etc/apt/preferences. See man apt_preferences. Also, you can find a lot of messages on this in list archives. -- Jerome
