Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.9.1-1

Man page says
           Similarly, to select a package from a particular archive, append
           "/<archive>" to the package name: for instance, "aptitude install
           apt/experimental".

However in the case of
# apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 23.0~a2+20130621004018-1
  Version table:
     23.0~a2+20130621004018-1 0
        990 http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental/iceweasel-aurora i386 
Packages
     21.0-1 0
        990 http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main i386 Packages
     17.0.6esr-1 0
        500 http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages

There is no way we can choose further,
# aptitude -s install iceweasel/experimental/main
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched 
"iceweasel/experimental"
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched 
"iceweasel/experimental"
E: Unable to locate package iceweasel/experimental
E: Unable to locate package iceweasel/experimental

(we must resort to install iceweasel=21.0-1.)
