Not really, see the apt_preferences manual page:
Package: *
Pin: release unstable
Pin-Priority: 50
or even:
the Version: line
names the release version. For example, the packages in the tree
might belong to Debian GNU/Linux release version 3.0. Note that there is
normally no version number for the testing and unstable
distributions because they have not been released yet. Specifying this in the
APT
preferences file would require one of the following lines.
Pin: release v=3.0
Pin: release a=stable, v=3.0
Pin: release 3.0
But I guess we may want to deprecate this in apt, so alternative
implementations don't need to implement it (same for the #clear
#include in the configuration files).
