Comment (by eighthave):

 If you just need a single package from unstable, I think it would be
 easiest to wget it, then verify with sha256, e.g. the info listed on
 https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/apktool/download:
 {{{
 $ wget
 https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apktool/apktool_2.4.0-1_all.deb
 $ echo '15a2b72d1892cfd5e4a3e878d6286d6f3f3e4ff6dcf9819d726db10626bd8c01
 apktool_2.4.0-1_all.deb' > apktool_2.4.0-1_all.deb.sha256
 $ sha256sum -c apktool_2.4.0-1_all.deb.sha256
 }}}

 Otherwise, I'd use "Apt Pinning".  That's a bit tricky to setup, ping me
 if you want me to write that, I've done it a lot.
