sure, I've been thinking about rewriting that mess for some time now,
all mails belonging to this thread were already saved on my APT-HOWTO
folder to serve as reference for my rewrite ;)
you're doing a good work, thanks...
btw, from what I've read 'till now, I think the easier -- and that will work

and installing explicitly unstable packages... no messing with difficult to
understand priorities and stuff
