"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"So don't do that."

i.e. If you don't want to upgrade everything to woody then don't run apt-get
upgrade when sources.list points at woody.

I run a script which rewrites sources.list to use woody and calls apt-get
update.
Then I install the desired woody package.
Afterwards, I run my script again to make sources.list use potato.
