That means a good bet would be: !?
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 600
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500
I would lower the priorities for testing and unstable, if you really
want to be sure to track only stable. By default, apt assigns a
priority of 100 to packages that are already installed. Therefore,
giving testing and unstable priorities of less than 100 will ensure that
you won't inadvertently install a package from testing or unstable. For
example:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 90
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 80
It's not, strictly speaking, necessary, but it might prevent an oopsie.
