'apt-get source' ignores pinning?
'apt-get source' for me seems to ignore my pinning setup and downloads
newer source than it should. apt-get install/build-dep does not,
however. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or not understanding?
More detail below.
For example, apt-cache policy swf-player shows, as it should (I'm using
a pretty standard pinning setup to pull some things from testing/unstable):
swf-player:
Installed: 0.3.4-2sarge0.1
Candidate: 0.3.4-2sarge0.1
Version Table:
0.3.4-3 0
400 http://mirrors.rcn.net testing/main Packages
300 http://mirrors.rcn.net unstable/main Packages
*** 0.3.4-2sarge0.1 0
900 http://mirrors.rcn.net stable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Which looks right - it has stable's at 900 as I configured it to
(/etc/apt/preferences attached below). apt-get install and apt-get
build-dep all pull from stable as I would expect, but apt-get source
pulls the most recent version from testing/unstable! E.g.,

If I comment out all but stable's lines in sources.list, it does fetch
stable's source, so it's not a problem of having a broken deb-src for
stable. So, I'm confused. :) Here's my /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 400
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 300
And here's my sources.list:
