sources.list tells apt where to find the packages.
but you also need to edit /etc/apt/apt.conf
My sarge doesn't have an /etc/apt/apt.conf file.
Instead, it has an /etc/apt/apt.conf.d dirextory.
man apt.conf
its the configuration for apt and can set all kinds of preferences for
apt. the APT::DefaultRelease "sarge"; line forces apt to stay within the
release "sarge" without you specifying on your apt-get install <package>
line. you can set all kinds of things in apt.conf including the size of
the cache, whether to pin a package at a certain release and so forth.
