There's a command-line option (-P) that makes apt-listbugs use a
non-default Pin-Priority value, when pinning packages.
Please take a look at the apt-listbugs(1) man page for further details.
Cupt users may just edit their /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs
conf file, so that the line
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt";};
gets replaced by
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -P 30000 apt";};
This should address this need of Cupt.

I could consider changing the default Pin-Priority to 30000, but not
for jessie: I don't want to interrupt the unstable→testing migration
process for apt-listbugs/0.1.16 and any new version rushed into
unstable after the migration of version 0.1.16 would probably not make
it to be in testing before the freeze starts (on November, the 5th).
Maybe during the jessie+1 development cycle...
I'll think about it.
Bye.
