IMNSHO pinning (or simply setting Default-Release in apt.conf) is the correct way to use a mixed environment, because: - installing even one package from the other repository can have unwanted side effects without pinning. Use correct pinning and the '-t' switch instead - one will not be aware of any possibly security related updates[1] [1] even unstable has some degree of security support, because the maintainer is usually aware of any stable security updates and will in most cases update the package in unstable too. Such packages are uploaded with 'urgency=high' and will also migrate faster to testing if possible.
