apt.conf or preferences can work in that case?

Sorry about that! that was a quite stupid mistake I made.
I have a question, if I uncomment these lines in my sources.list:
# shame (Uunstable lenny)
#deb
http://download.tuxfamily.org/shames/debian-lenny/desktopfx/unstable/ ./
# avant-window-navigator
#deb http://www.arearelax.org/awn/ ./
considering my apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
How will apt react since these packages, even if they are made for
testing distribution do not seams to be marked as being so? They are
only in a folder of the repos.
In addition the same packages might appear in sid or experimental.
I thought I could do this kind of preferences file:
*===================================*
Explanation: Sid
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority:500
Explanation: Lenny
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 501
Explanation: Experimental
Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority:80
*===================================*
But I am not sure it will work either.
Here is my sources.list:
