Method or pointer to docs appreciated.
SOLUTION: I've added the following lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list: # Mozilla sources for Mozilla.. deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release # Google software repository deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main I've also got testing, unstable, and experimental sources, though I'm pinned to stable: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # cat /etc/apt/preferences # Apt preferences Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 999 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 400 Package: * Pin: release a=experimental Pin-Priority: 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've installed the latest available iceweasel (5.something) and chromium (12.something) from sources. This took some dependency resolving to work out, but I've got most of what I want.
