I might recommend this option: with a package like Galeon, you're likely
to find that you need many packages from unstable to install unstable's
Galeon.

Here's what I might try to install from source, although this may run
into problems:

(in /usr/src)
apt-get --build source unstable/galeon

This should download the source for (the unstable version of) galeon and
all its dependencies and try to build it.  You need to put unstable in
your sources.list first; you should pin unstable to a priority of lower
than 100 if you want to prevent upgrades.

That 'apt-get --build source' involves many steps; they are:

apt-get source unstable/galeon
apt-get build-dep galeon
cd galeon-<version number>
dpkg-buildpackage -b
cd ..
dpkg -i galeon_<version number>.deb

Peace,
