With old(Potato) apt, it get package from testing because it is highest
priority.

Latest, usually.
I think you need to read my "http://qref.sf.net"; site on how to move to testing.
Or read apt-howto on http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp
After doing so,
# apt-get update; apt-get install apt
is first thing to do. Then resd "man apt_preferences"
You can do "apt-get dist-upgrade" later when you know how to handle
everything :)
