Yes ... I read that, too. But it doesn't say anything specifically about the `APT::Default-Release "testing";' in apt.conf, and I have learned the hard way not to make assumptions about the way that various settings in various places interract with one another in the 'apt' system. But using the empirical method, I have determined (I think!) that `APT::Default-Release' does indeed seem to correspond to the same numerical priority as the --target-release option.
