You use Testing. Testing sucks by-design; if you wish the latest
versions, use Sid. Though, we will have to remove 0.30 from Sarge too
since it is not acceptable (old, unsupported) and 1.0 is not acceptable
either (ugly RC bugs).

Eh, what you wanted is: apt-get -t unstable install mono/unstable

I don't know how your sources.list line looks. The one from the homepage
should work. However, you better use the packages from Sid since those
on Alioth are no longer uptodate.
