It's bad for the readability of a thread, and is considered bad manners) I really think if it's a simple one-package situation, you'd be much better off listening to Colin Watson and just downloading the deb somewhere and installing it with dpkg -i Or look for a backport of the package. I love backports myself. Pinning is powerful and dangerous and if you use it wrong you can end up with an incredible mess of dependency problems.
