[PD] where do u apt-get???

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

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.
