Well it won't help you if unstable is outdated too, but backports.org
can be handy. I've had to backport a few things (including newer
upstream versions occasionally), normally it's pretty easy, sometimes
it's an absolute doddle, sometimes it's not (tomcat 5.5.20 on sarge
springs to mind - ECJ and Kaffe are substantially different from sarge
to etch).
