Good Luck.
This can be solved in every instance I have seen by doing the following.

Instead of doing this:

apt-get install (name_of_program)
Do this:

apt-get -t unstable install (name_of_program)
"-t unstable" will requre apt install the program from unstable AND INSTALL ALL DEPENDENCIES FROM UNSTABLE.

I know that people often bring up the mixed nature of Knoppix as a problem for doing a hard drive install, but it's really a myth.

If you suspect that there might be problems just do the following:

apt-get -s -t unstable install (name_of_program)
The "-s" will simulate a install and you can see if you will be borked by having tons of packages removed. In my experience however using "-t unstable" almost always removes this danger.
