Just to repeat something I mentioned on debian-devel recently.
We have a staging area where we're trying to make sure we're ready to
go (wrt to dependent packages) before uploading ot unstable.  You can
either follow the url below directly, or add it to your apt
sources.list (if you're feeling really brave).  I would *NOT*
recommend these packages for general use yet, though:

  deb http://people.debian.org/~rlb/guile-1.6-staging/ ./
