I find these searches very difficult to interpret. Perhaps I need to
immerse myself in the terminology and mechanisms behind aptitude etc.
$ aptitude search ~Ajessie~i | wc -l
185
$ aptitude search ~Astable~i | wc -l
2316
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

No trace of the word "stable" in my sources.list and never has been,
unless the squeeze CD originally wrote it there before I changed it
almost straight away.
Cheers,
