At some time in the past, APT::Default-Release worked only with the status-based
release names (stable, testing, etc.) but didn't work (and didn't report any
error message) when given release code names (e.g., lenny, sid, etc.)

Has that been fixed yet?

If not, how can one avoid having aptitude try to upgrade you to a newly
release version (before you more directly choose to)?

Thanks,
Daniel
