[vox-tech] debian question - packages from other release

[Peter Jay Salzman]

occaisionally i'll grab the unstable version of a package off a debian
mirror.

i'd like to install glade-2, which is only in sid, and has a few
dependencies.

is there a way to automate the process of installing glade-2 on a woody
machine other than downloading packages by hand off a debian mirror?

i've heard that changing sources.list->sid, apt-get updating, apt-get
installing the package of interest, change sources.list->sarge and
then finally apt-get updating again, while sounds good, is a bad idea.
