I didn't have that problem. Is it reproducible?

   yes. I tried apt-get several times before shifting to aptitude.
   Is the difference coming from the fact that you are on amd64 and I am on 
i386?
   I'll try later on my laptop which has a amd64 processor.

Sure, if you only use packages from there that are available from
Debian, too. But I use other packages as well. Whether Marillat's use of
the epoch qualifies as cheating is a question I cannot answer.

  This results in completely by-passing the pinning settings.
  Of course, the excuse is to avoid dependencies problems, but I imagine
  that the maintainers of the official repos are also able to manage 
dependencies
  for the packages they provide....
