The magic is that with >= 1000 apt will downgrade installed packages. But that sounds wrong to me. > > Note that several tests failed with "test dependencies are > > unsatisfiable" over night.

I thought the goal was to not install all of -proposed. Sure it is a bit of a defeat, but so far I neither know nor have seen anything better :-( But actually the current approach is working rather well. It still installs as many packages as possible from -release, then sees the apt "unsatisfiable deps" error, and re-runs the install without pinning. But at that point most stuff is already installed, so usually this should only affect a package or two. So while it's ugly, the practical result is actually rather good.
