Running the command you requested reminded me of one additional thing I
did was disable the proposed-updates entry in the sources.list
(following a different set of advice), I tried running the steps both
with the entry in place and without it and neither made any changes to
existing packages.
Here is the output you requested:
$ apt-cache policy

It looks to me the pinning isn't working, it shows nothing over 500
whether proposed-updates is enabled or disabled. I placed the file
in /etc/apt/preferences.d/. Here is my exact pinning file:
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy-updates
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy-security
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy-proposed
Pin-Priority: -10
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy-backports
Pin-Priority: -10
gregg@fast:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/99-back-to-stables-updates
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy-updates
Pin-Priority: 1001

Pin-Priority: 1001

Do I have the references to wheezy correct in the pin file? Here is my
sources.list:

Thanks for your help on this.
