Downgrading to stable

[Kjetil Kjernsmo <kjetil@kjernsmo.net>]

Dear all,

I had my box tracking testing for a long time but when woody was 
released, I wanted to remain on stable. I had some "unstable" entries 
in my sources.list and changed those to "stable" and did the 
dist-upgrade. Unfortunately, I had "testing" entries too, and I forgot 
to change APT::Default-Release... So my box is still tracking testing.
Whooops.

This was unintentional, so I wanted to downgrade. I found a page that 
recommended getting this in my preferences:
     Package: *
     Pin: release a=stable
     Pin-Priority: 1001
but when I do this, dpkg is complaining when it is about to be 
downgraded.

Is there some way I can downgrade smoothly?
 
Best,

Kjetil
