Well, did some research and founf apt preferences does the trick.

So I have created  /etc/apt/preferences.d/php and added

` ` ` `
Package: php5*
 Pin: release a=stable
 Pin-Priority: 900

` ` ` `

where as the sources list have

` ` ` `
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all

` ` ` `

But apt still installs the 5.4 version of php not 5.3. 

Any clue please ?

Thanks
