I've got unstable configured using apt-pinning, but still:

node1:/home/joehill# apt-cache policy xfdesktop4
xfdesktop4:
  Installed: 4.4.2-7
  Candidate: 4.4.2-7
  Version table:
     4.6.0-2 0
        800 http://debian.yorku.ca unstable/main Packages
 *** 4.4.2-7 0
        900 http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Now, this is my prefs file for pinning:

  GNU nano 2.0.7          File: /etc/apt/preferences                            

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 800

So I'm guessing it has something to do with pin-priority? I notice that the
output from apt-cache policy includes an '800' for unstable and a '900' for
testing.

Thanks!
