By all means, use "sid" packages on Debian. Sometimes it may even be
convenient to download individual .deb files from there for Ubuntu
(although I would prefer not to do that whenever possible), but adding
that repository to an Ubuntu sources.list is asking for trouble. What
package does that repository have that isn't available with the
sources.list I prepared (and don't anybody say RealPlayer)?

Like I said, it should be "fakeroot" and not "sudo" there, but how many
people are cautious enough to rebuild every package available through
apt-get? And if you mean only the ones from third-party repositories, how
is that more cautious when the source will come from the same third-party
repository?
