(It's been a while since I used apt pinning, but IIRC) if you only
want a single package from testing, you should probably Pin all
packages from testing to something like -10, and Pin that specific
package from testing to the same priority as stable. e.g.
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: some-package
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 700
Or you could pin testing, but not pin the package at all and simply
install some-package=some-version.
You can check the priorities w/ 'apt-cache policy'.
