apt can now do cool things like version "pinning" - where you specify a 
sort of base level, and then put various version in your 
/etc/apt/sources.list.  You can also specify what release you want apt to 
use by name, rather than version (woody rather than stable) ... it saves a 
lot of messing about when a version moved from testing to stable)

My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:

# Since apt can now use multiple distributions, we'll
# name them in this file along with the distro we are running

# Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody non-US

# Source listing for the testing distro
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge non-US

# We'll use woody as our main distro
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib 
non-free

# more config lines for the testing distro
#deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib
#deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib
#deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib 
non-free


I have pinned apt to woody by putting the line

  APT::Default-Release "stable";

into /etc/apt/apt.conf

Have a look at the apt howto on the debian site

Cheers,
Rob
