I've got branden's sources listed:

$ fgrep branden /etc/apt/sources.list 
deb http://people.debian.org/~branden/ sid/i386/

But I also have in sources.list sources for stable, testing, and unstable
and I have:

$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "testing";


So normally apt-get fetches the testing package.  But for an unstable
package:

# apt-get -t unstable foo
