The others will surely have a better answer, but I guess that you can install *only* TeXLive without having to switch to unstable:
I don't have Debian stable here -- switched to Ubuntu (6.10), which is more like Debian unstable as of 6 months ago. But I worry that the context packages won't install on Debian stable because they depend on texlive-base-bin,tex-common and others that are only in testing/unstable. Two options: 1. wait until testing becomes stable, which allegedly will be 'soon', and then you can do everything out of the box. 2. apt-get the source to texlive-base-bin and rebuild it on Debian stable. Or maybe there's a backports repository for it already? -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
