I have similar preferences but have not touched apt.conf, I have
unstable in the sources.list.

atp_preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -10

I set this options because of a suggestion in this mailing list.

I think it may be a bug, but would like to hear a more informated
opinion on the subject.

I think that, if it is a bug, it should be submited against apt, since
dpkg didn't seem to get to execute.
