I know that apt supports "pinning", and mixing various version in various 
ways, but I've never quite grasped how it works well enough to be successful 
with it.

How can I say, "use stable for everything", except for this pacakge or that 
package that I need from "testing". (and ideally, no more updates beyond 
version X).

Thanks
