Okay, so I decided to download and install the stable release, to add
your repository list and if needed I'll mix stable and testing.

For Ubuntu there was an solvable issue using make-kpkg some time ago,

Anyway, I first try to use

$ wget
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso
