Hi all,
I would like to install usb_modeswitch on my Lenny system but the package is not part of Lenny. But of Squeeze:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/usb-modeswitch

So, what is the right syntax to install a package through apt-get coming from a different release? According to http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get it should be possible by adding a / and the version name, i.e.

apt-get install usb_modeswitch/squeeze

But does it have to be added to the sources.list first? Or is it possible through the -o option to temporarily override the sources.list?

BR,
Nikolaus
