Installing non-official debs is a good way to break your system.

If you're going to be installing random .deb files then this is
probably the best you can do. But you shouldn't be doing it, you
should be looking for an official package, backport, or at least a
.deb built for your distribution by a third party. Failing that
compile from source..
