I installed Debian testing (jessie) and put this in my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free 

I want to install a third-party piece of software that requires libgnomeprint, but I can't seem to find it in the repository. I used apt-cache search libgnomeprint and apt-cache search gnome | grep print, but no luck. I searched the repositories online , but no luck.

According to a changelog it was removed from Debian testing (I think), so if I'm interpreting that correctly, it's not available in testing at all? Is there any way to install it? I don't want to just add a repository for another version of Debian, like stable, because I'll get package conflicts that way.

Is it dangerous if I just find a deb of v2.2 somewhere and install it? I don't want that to put me in dependency hell, or will it not?

If it's relevant, I'm not actually using gnome as my DE; I just need this one package.
