ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Do not EVER install a package from "testing" on a "stable" release.

If there is a backport of the package, you may use that.

If there is not, you may attempt to backport it yourself.  This may be
easy, difficult, or impossible, depending on the build dependencies of
the package.

If a backport is not feasible, you may build the package manually from
upstream sources and install in /opt or /usr/local.
