I would instead suggest to make or put into your /etc/apt/preferences file: Package: debian-reference-fr (en?) Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 500 Package: debian-reference-common Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 500 those lines at least. and in your /etc/apt/apt.conf file: APT::Default-Release "unstable"; Build-Essential "build-essential"; Ignore-Hold "false"; Clean-Installed "true"; Immediate-Configure "true"; // DO NOT turn this off, see the man page Force-LoopBreak "false"; // DO NOT turn this on, see the man page Cache-Start "20971520"; Cache-Grow "1048576"; Cache-Limit "0"; Default-Release ""; Install-Recommends "true"; Install-Suggests "false"; there's other stuff you can put in there but that's a good start. Also I would install the following 'meta' packages: linux-headers(your architecture) on my computer that would be: linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-(your architecture) on my computer that would be: linux-image-amd64 that will keep you updated nicely. xserver-xorg-core (not a meta as such but brings everything with it you might need. I know those sources are further away than France but the fix is in, deus ex machina.
