Of course, but he wanted it in testing. Adding experimental to your
sources.list you risk getting other, possibly undesired, experimental
packages. Even if you change it back after getting the package you
want, the dependencies will be fetched from from experimental.

However, the most proper way to ensure testing would be to "apt-get
source" and build it for testing.
