Package: apt

Severity: normal
have /etc/apt/preferences set to pin-down to testing via
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 990
sources.list gets woody & unstable from umich.edu and non-us.debian.org
try
Package: package.name.prefix.here*
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 999
but it won't upgrade to unstable versions of package and friends
works fine if all packages and sub-packages explicit without wildcard
