[oclug] apt problem while tracking alternate release

Hi folks,

My system is currently debian 3.0 stable.  I want to install the latest
mozilla from unstable, but when I issue 'apt-get -t unstable install
mozilla', apt wants to remove all my kde setup and install a whole pile of
other stuff including ldap, ogg and whatnot.  I tried adding the '-d'
option to the above command (in various place) to just download the
package, but I get the same output from apt - that it wants to essentially
ruin my system in the process.

How can I slap it into obedience?

Cheers!
Jon
