Dear Dirk, I'll jump in because I've been wondering how to do this for some time. Is there any way to pin a whole series of packages using wildcards? I can otherwise pin r-base and r-recommended, but the packages they depend on will not be pinned themselves. It thus seems the only way to have 'unstable' R packages on my 'testing' system is to list them all in /etc/apt/preferences. It is neither convenient nor "safe" since I will eventually miss unlisted packages.
