Issue #1822 has been updated by adam.

We should make sure that this feature has a way to be turned off - I can think 
of a few situations where you wouldn't want pinning involved.

Feature #1822: specifying version in package declaration should pin apt to that 
version
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1822

Author: emerose
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: package
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 


the issue is that specifying a version in a package declaration -- eg
<pre>
  package { "libxen3": 
    ensure => "3.2.0-0ubuntu10",
  }
</pre>
installs the right version -- but doesn't pin apt to that version.  the result 
being that if you then manually run @apt-get upgrade@ you'll end up with the 
newest version, regardless of what you specified.  and that can be, er, 
"awkward":https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-3.3/+bug/297077  

it'd be great if specifying the version would magically add the relevant clause 
to "apt's preferences":http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning in order to do the 
right thing...
