Upgrade all packages:
If you want to upgrade just one package (e.g. php5):
For the package versions available on Debian take a look at:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
If you want to install php5 5.4.4-2, that is only available on wheezy, you should add wheezy to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
and then:
To don't get any surprises, you should use apt pinning in order to prevent that your system from installing packages from wheezy, just create the file /etc/apt/preferences
So when that when you do apt-get install, if you don't specify -t wheezy it will by default install the package from squeeze.
