Thanks for the clue, Brandon. It didn't work for me; probably
because I don't have the version of apt that you do (I noticed
that you're on the unstable, rather than frozen, branch).
Now that I've discovered how to edit /etc/apt/source.list,
preparing a temporary list for an unstable access of the
latest apt package will most probably be a-piece-of-cake.
