It depends. When you configured your apt sources, did you specify "testing"

I'm running Sarge and have the debian package for gtkpod installed, as well

I'd like to learn how to compile a kernel the Debian way and haven't had that
much luck finding a faq or walkthrough that explains what I'm doing
step-by-step and why I'm doing it. I hear that it's easier than the
"standard way" and I'd like to find out for myself what it's all about.
