Depends. The argument of ~A ("stable" in this case) is used as a regular
expression. That regular expression also matches packages from the "unstable"
archive. (Use "^stable$" instead for an exact match.)
It's somewhat rare, and entirely unsupported, to mix stable packages with
unstable packages, but I've done it before to my benefit. When you are doing
something like that, you have to be quite aware of the intricacies of
aptitude's search.
