For instance I use
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-debian-policy.pref /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-lintian.pref
Package: debian-policy
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 605
Package: lintian
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 605
While my /etc/apt/preferences has lines like this
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 501
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 50
Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 5
Kind regards
Andreas.
