Done. Now it works.

It seems like

  Pin: release o=Jeff Bailey,l=Jeff Bailey

doesn't work at all. In fact, I can't seem to pin on any o= and l=
fields of the release data.

It should not even apply. Default are pinned at 500, so any Ubuntu
package will be 500. However, I specifically pin bzr to 50, and
APT just ignores that.

Bug report pending.

Where did you get this information? In my book, I describe *** as
denoting the candidate and I am quite sure that I didn't "make that
up" but empirically determined it; I did not go and look at the
source though.
