Me too. I think they're arbitrary, but I used the /etc/apt/preferences
example provided in that link and it "just works":
Explanation: see http://www.argon.org/~roderick/apt-pinning.html
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 300
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1
I can now do this (as one line):
apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade &&
apt-get -t unstable install mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-firefox gaim
