It might make your life a little bit easier to forget about pinning and
just put this in you /etc/apt/apt.conf file:
APT::Default-Release "stable";
That will prevent your system from upgrading to Wheezy on you, but it'll
allow you to install files from wheezy (provided wheezy is in your
sources.list).
