Instead of doing this, create a Debian Stable (or Testing, if that's what you're running) repository on OBS¹. Fork the packages you want from Debian Unstable into your repo, and let them build against your preferred Debian release. If some of them need newer deps, pull in their deps, too. Add your repository to your system and upgrade that way.
Or if you're not that attached to only using DEBs, just use Nix or Guix to install newer software.
