    You could activate the debian testing repo on repo-manager, then do in terminal
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install -s <package-name>
    just to simulate what it would try to install apart from your desired package.
    If there is a LOT of important packages, forget about installing t and de-activate the testing repo using repo-manager.

    If this is a graphical program, see if there already is an AppImage available, or maybe a .deb package from the developer’s website. It would be a safer solution.
