Add the other releases to your sources.list file, example:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
In your /etc/apt/apt.conf file:
APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;
APT::Default-Release "testing";
The Cache limit is necessary or apt-get update pukes.
Do apt-get update
then apt-get -t unstable install packagename
or apt-get -t stable install packagename
