Bug#179868: apt: no way to really use Pin: origin, at least with cdroms



In summary, your posting seems to contain two different points:
1. the format of the pin origin being unsufficiently documented and
2. apt downloading an other file than the one listed with the highest 
   priority.

Concerning the second: In all your examples, the files on the cdrom and
the http mirror were identical (which apt decided using a hash over some
header fields in the respective package files). After one of them got
selected due to its high priority, apt doesn't care any longer which of
them to install, it just uses the first one (which is also the one that 
is listed first in sources.list).

Regards, Daniel
