Since your debian distribution seems to be non-standard (a blend of
stable/testing/unstable); it would seem only appropriate for your vendor
to have supplied some information regarding where you may trip up from
looking at conventional sources. Thus a large part of your difficulty
can be attributed to them, rather than debian.
