Martin Krafft's book, The Debian System, is very helpful on the whole
subject of pinning and running a system with multiple repositories. If 
(like me) you prefer having "proper books" rather than just online 
how-tos and man pages then that book is very useful indeed for a lot of 
aspects of running Debian.

See http://debiansystem.info for details.
