Backport a sid package to stable

Install the Debian source (and the development tools, especially debhelper), and then build the package.

Step by step:

• add a deb-src line for sid to your sources.list
• apt-get update
• apt-get build-dep <packagename>
  note the names of the build dependencies
  apt-get -b source <packagename>

Clean up:

• deb-src line
• build dependencies
• helper files

The resulting deb-files should be in the current directory
