Sounds like you've installed the Sugar packages prepared by me.

Happy to hear that they are (somewhat) useful!

The Debian packaging curently follows most recent released tarball at 
[1] and if none exist then fairly recent Git snapshot from [2].

  [1] http://dev.laptop.org/pub/sugar/sources/
  [2] git://dev.laptop.org

If those sources are considered "pre-alpha", then what sources are more 
proper?

I wouldn't mind maintaining multiple "tracks" of packages - one 
as-stable-as-possible and another for bleeding edge.  But it would 
certainly help (both me and, I imagine, other future distributors) if 
you could help clarify what fits which category.
