Installing only subset of packages from specific Debian snapshot



Is this possible at all:

 - running stable Debian (not snapshot)
 - installing subset of packages from snapshot testing (snapshot 2015-11-01)
 - installing subset of packages from snapshot testing (snapshot 2015-12-01)

I wasn't able to find the way to do this.

I would have imagined for this to be possible by either:
 - "aliasing" Debian distributions and having e.g. "testing-2015-11-01" and "testing-2015-12-01" and then providing these to `apt-get -t <distribution-alias> install <pkgname>`
 - specifying in `sources.list` files which repository is responsible for which subset of packages (using section names e.g. "admin" for "docker.io" package instead of components like "main" etc.)

Thank you very much!
