Bug#355237: apt: -1 pinning problem still exists in 0.6.46.4-0.1

[Vincent Bernat <bernat@luffy.cx>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1
Followup-For: Bug #355237

Hi !

This bug is still present in latest apt version. Here is what I
have in /etc/apt/preferences :

Package: ca-certificates
Pin: version 20070303
Pin-Priority: -1

And apt-show policy ca-certificates :
ca-certificates:
  Installed: 20061027.2
  Candidate: 20070303
  Package pin: 20070303
  Version table:
     20070303 -1
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org etch/main Packages
 *** 20061027.2 -1
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

And therefore, 20070303 is installed instead of 20061027.2.

A work around is :

Package: ca-certificates
Pin: version 2006*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Any hint on how to fix this ?
