Hi Chris. I hope you can provide another reference to a more complete 
explanation of apt-pinning, or that Sayantan has already basic knowledge 
of it... cause I got lost while reading the link you provided, trying to 
figure out where do some of the pinning values were comming from...
I think somewhere in the debian manual there is an explanation for 
apt-pinning (wich maybe lack these examples)(...

Anyway, maybe you could provide your example? I actually would like to 
have firefox pinned to unstable...

Thanks
