Try here: http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences
And then review my personal setup: http://iguanasuicide.net/node/4

(apt-cache policy) is good for reviewing your active pinning and gives some 
information you might find useful for writing the best "Pin:" line.

(apt-cache policy $package) is also good for individual packages.

Any specific questions after that, you can contact me via PM and I also watch 
the list.
