Okay, for the purposes of this exercise, I've effectively got:

deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://people.debian.org/~ccheney/kde-other ./
deb http://phebehouse.dyndns.org/pub/kdepim ./

in my sources.list, and:

Package: *
Pin: release unstable
Pin-priority: 800

Package: *
Pin: origin people.debian.org
Pin-Priority: 880

Package: *
Pin: origin phebehouse.dyndns.org
Pin-Priority: 850

in my /etc/apt/preferences file.

This tells apt to give Debian/unstable a priority of 800 (i.e. higher 
than already installed debs and higher than the default for 'other' 
sources), but gives the two unofficial sources even higher priority 
than Debian unstable.

This means that the unofficial debs of kdenetwork and kdepim will be 
prefered over the old ones in Debian/unstable, but Debian/unstable will 
be used for everything else (i.e. everything not in the two unofficial 
sources).

Please ask if you would like further details.
