Disregard previous answer. Debian stable only gets security updates. But you're 
running Debian unstable and it's hard to downgrade to stable. Stable may not 
have the packages you want (xorg for example).

You may want to check the topic on #debian on irc.debian.org for serious 
breakage before doing an apt-get upgrade.
