Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: normal

If I enter at the command line

 aptitude versions gnome-control-center

the output is

p   1:2.30.1-3                testing,unstable
990
p   1:3.0.2-1                 experimental
100

But given my /etc/apt/preferences which is

Package: empathy* fglrx* *glx* gir1* gnome* gstreamer0.10* gvfs* python-gmenu
libclutter* libgdu-gtk0  libgl* nautilus* network-manager* telepathy*
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 992

Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 100

(if you suspect that I wanted to try the gnome shell, you're right!), I would
expect the experimental priority to be 992.

In fact, if I do install the package with the command

aptitude install gnome-control-center

the experimental version is installed, which I actually appreciate.

So I think that the output of the versions option is broken and misleading.
