Hi Olleg, I have just stumbled across a similar (the same?) problem.
I am running Sarge with addition of some Etch packages. After switching sources.list from "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free" to "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free", aptitude wants to install about 20 packages from Sarge 3.1r0 again in the identical version to that already installed. Worst of all, after reinstalling these packages, aptitude keeps repeating the request to reinstall with every run! So, here seems to be a bug in package management. Interestingly, all packages affected have one thing in common: their versions are identical in Sarge/Stable and Etch/Testing. It looks like Aptitude is believing that these packages are installed from Etch and therefore tries to update them to the newest version (I use pinning to stay with Sarge except for those packages I added from Etch). However, as the packages installed from Etch are identical to those from Sarge, Aptitude goes through this process over and over.
