If you would like to use packages from a different release to what you are currently running (ie. you want to install the latest nasm package from unstable, but you like to run the rest of your machine on stable) follow these steps.
# Add APT::Default-Release "stable"; to apt.conf(5)
# Make sure you have sources for unstable/testing specified in sources.list(5)
-# Install packages with apt-get install [packagename]=[packageversion]
+# Install packages with:
+#*
apt-get install [
[packagename]=[
[packageversion]
+#* apt-get install -t unstable [[packagename]
+
Some notes on the above.
* When specifing your default release it appears that you can only use "Stable"/"Testing"/"Unstable" don't try and use Woody/Sarge etc it won't work
* You can find out package versions a packages.debian.org
