For understanding what version you are running, and what packages will get updated (or not), take a look at "man apt_preferences".
Good point. Specifically, the apt conffile /etc/apt/apt.conf must indicate the debian version. e.g. mine contains: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded "true"; APT::Default-Release "sarge"; APT::Cache-Limit 25165824;
