Bug#282918: apt-preferences(5), wrong example?



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: minor

Hi,

apt_preferences(5) says:
          The following record assigns a high priority to all package versions
          belonging to any release whose Archive name is  "stable" and  whose
          release Version number is "3.0".

          Package: *
          Pin: release a=unstable, v=3.0
          Pin-Priority: 50

Doesn't the example code have the wrong a= field and a too low
priority? Frankly, this looks like a cut&paste error, or I have
misunderstood how pinning works.

Greetings
Marc
