Hello,
I am another user hit by this issue:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing-security main
# cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 800
# apt update
Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing-security InRelease

Pinned packages:
Now, I would like to debug my Pin-Priority setup (see also bug
[#931524]), but "apt policy" says nothing about the Pin-Priority assigned to
"deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing-security main"!
How can I check what Pin-Priority apt assigns to a repository which
does not yet include any packages?
How can I look at what values it sees for the "o", "a", "n", "l", "c",
and "b" fields of such a repository?
I need to do so, *before* some packages become available with the
*wrong* Pin-Priority!
Please let "apt policy" also show empty sources along with their
Pin-Priority and field values.
Or, otherwise, please implement a command-line option to get this
additional output.
Thanks for your time and dedication!
Bye.
