Thids is correct syntax but I think
apt-get install svk/stable
is also correct syntax.
I have not used it often but I see manpage in apt_preferences(5) mention
its usage as example. Maybe the insertion of space by the original

By the way, installing package from different release is somewhat
dangerous even for interpretted language program. So be careful.
