Thanks, I checked that, good hint!

I startet with something like this in /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian-amd64
Pin-Priority: 1600

Package: *
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: 999

But the evaluation of this items needs IMHO a valid Release-file in the
amd64 source, which apt-get seems not to find:

# apt-get update
Hit http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org sarge/main Packages

Get:4 ftp://ftp.de.debian.org sarge/contrib Release [84B]

Why does the Release file on alioth not exist and therefore is
"Ign"ored?
