I don't recommend using 'unstable' since oftentimes, there are conflicts and problems with package installs. Instead, you can have the best of both worlds: run 'stable' or 'testing' and get Pd from 'unstable' or 'experimental' by setting up the apt preferences. "man apt_preferences" is helpful in this regard.
I attached my /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/preferences for an example. I also including /etc/apt/apt.conf, which you may not need.

I read:
If people are interested I can offer a backport of the latest pd to Debian stable. Just not on powerpc, because I do not have a Mac.
If you choose to do this I could grab the source and do ppc packaging of the .deb. OTOH I think using unstable is just fine for most people and I personally prefer building pd from source anyway.
I could go on talking about Debian release strategy, but it is better I do not start with that,
oh please elaborate on this, I haven't had this discussion for hours ;) maybe invite branden to join the chat ?
