i.e., i don't have an apt_preferences.
I don't think you should. man apt_preferences refers to the file
/etc/apt/preferences which AFAIK is used for pinning.
what are the consequences if i don't have an apt.conf in /etc/apt? or
don't have a 'APT::Default-Release <version>' in it?
AFAIK apt will try to upgrade your packages to the newest version
it knows about. That means, if you have 'stable' and 'testing' in your
sources than it would upgrade everything to testing (on a dist-upgrade).
If you add unstable than it upgrades to unstable.
based on other parts of this thread and my own anecdotal information,
I think that is correct.
A
then what really is the role of apt.conf in terms of tracking the desired part
of the repository?
You should take a look at my sources.list

Read the top of it.
