The order depends on pinning if you mix sources together.  This is
something you want to try and avoid.  Of course, as a general rule, you
should NOT go mixing different versions of Debian over.  While there is
a theoretical safeness to mixing Unstable and Testing (same version of
GLIBC) dependencies are always in a state of flux in Unstable, and you
just shouldn't do it. Pick one or t'other -- "Sarge" in your case, John.
