[please CC me Im not on the list]
I am unable to pin packages from the repository using the a=testing
option, only a=etch works. (the opposite is the case for official
repositories but thats a different email) I was unable to determine why
since it seems your release files are in order. screen shots below
When Pin: release a=testing is set...........

As I said the opposite is true for the main repository (i.e. if I only
have release a= etch then security updates will be pinned 80 and main
will be pinned 500). I don't mind having both in my apt preferences but
I just though you would like to know about the inconsistency.
