I've not gotten around to setting up pinning to track them automatically.This will work for now, because Buster and Sid are still quite similar but as soon as Sid diverges farther from Buster, this will fail or worse, pull many dependencies from Sid into you Buster installation.I understand that. I hope that by that time I'll be so bored with the stability of Buster that it will be time to move up to Bullseye while it is still Testing. - Nate
