Honestly, I wouldn't.  unstable is now running libc6 2.3 -- upgrading to
anything in unstable compiled against libc6 will require pulling the new
libc6 and end up upgrading lots of your other packages to unstable.  Any
packages that aren't upgraded may or may not break (the ones that are
upgraded are even more likely to break  :)

Upgrade to the version in testing if you're feeling game (until the new
libc6 makes its way there, of course), but avoid unstable at the moment.
