Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: normal
If I enter at the command line
aptitude versions gnome-control-center
the output is
p 1:2.30.1-3 testing,unstable
990
p 1:3.0.2-1 experimental
100
But given my /etc/apt/preferences which is
Package: empathy* fglrx* *glx* gir1* gnome* gstreamer0.10* gvfs* python-gmenu
libclutter* libgdu-gtk0 libgl* nautilus* network-manager* telepathy*
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 992

(if you suspect that I wanted to try the gnome shell, you're right!), I would
expect the experimental priority to be 992.
In fact, if I do install the package with the command
aptitude install gnome-control-center
the experimental version is installed, which I actually appreciate.
So I think that the output of the versions option is broken and misleading.
