Perhaps you can color code it, and have a color key available for
that column. Alternatively, a one character symbol and a key mapping
symbol to release name. ("Woody", "testing", "Sid", "unstable",
"MSTI")
Then, show the latest version from the default release, unless that
package is pinned to a non-default release.
It seems to me there should be some notion of that a package was
pinned to a non-default release due to a dependancy from a package
you've pinned, so that if you downgrade (or backgrade?) those can
fall back also in some way?
