Yes.
| If so, how?
One of the following :
1) Point a browser at packages.debian.org and download the desired
packages (and all deps) and run 'dpkg -i'.
2) edit sources.list to point to woody,
'apt-get update && apt-get install <pkg>'
put sources.list back
'apt-get update'
3) get the new apt from woody (using (1) or (2)), then set
apt-preferences and simply 'apt-get install <pkg>/<release>'
(ie 'apt-get install abcde/testing')
HTH,
