Well, this is a problem we solved a while ago - making use of Pin-Priority[0]. With this enabled, a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will not pull from -proposed, but sudo apt-get install xorg/saucy-proposed , would allow me to forcefully install xorg from saucy-proposed, as an opt-in - per package choice.
