Debian multirepo setup (stable + individual packages from testing)

  • Lower Apt Pin priority of testing packages adding the following lines to /etc/apt/preferences (important: only the release name works):

    Package: *
Pin: release n=bookworm
Pin-Priority: 50

  • Add the testing repo in /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main

  • When referring to testing packages, use apt's -t parameter e.g. apt install -t testing <package>
