Hm, doesn't apt have an equivalent of yum's 'yum localinstall'
command? If you enable testing then you I believe you should just be
able to apt-get install backuppc and get BackupPC 3, but you probably
jump through these hoops to keep the rest of the OS on stable and only
get BackupPC 3 from testing?
