Some notes on the above.
* When specifing your default release it appears that you can only use "Stable"/"Testing"/"Unstable" don't try and use Woody/Sarge etc it won't work
-* You can find out package versions a
packages.debian.org
+* You can find out package versions at
packages.debian.org
+
+And this prompts a question unanswered everywhere I have looked: When sarge becomes "stable" how will I prevent my regular and automated executing of "apt-get dist-upgrade" updating all my packages to sarge? How does one configure apt to stay with woody given that default-release "woody" does not work? It seesm the way is this: Do not set default-release. In sources.list do not mention stable or testing but woody and sarge instead. In preferences pin 500 > woody > stable > sarge > testing > 100. Then when packages in sarge becomes marked stable packages in woody, also still stable, presumably will still be preferred. Does that work?
