I've followed directions from the page you suggest http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2544
and included deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free in my source.list file, which was otherwise empty. I've updated by following instructions there, but while grass is present I still do not see qgis available in Synaptic. I sent a message to the lmde list (last message in the http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=176066&p=909941#p909941 thread) but got no answer. I thought that once had lmde as debian testing I would get all packages offered by debangis. Am I missing some reposotiories?
