The topic of tracking multiple releases came up at last night's
HOSEF workshop. I am sending my boilerplate configuration to the
list for archival purposes.

More information can be found at the man page for apt_preferences(5)
and http://www.argon.org/~roderick/apt-pinning.html.

The Pin-Priority entries in my example are a bit arbitrary and
differ somewhat from the link above.
