This seems to suggest that I can use that syntax to allow me to put

anything from testing.
Is that correct?
I think it is, but I never tried it. On my Sid system I use a package
pin of 50 for experimental to keep these packages blocked unless I
specifically ask for one of them, e.g. because it fixes a bug that is
present in unstable. That works exactly as advertised in the manpages.
