Sorry, I missed a point. Here's the revision:


I would get rid of that in apt.conf and go with pinning only.
Less confusion.


that's correect.


Here is my sources.list:

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main
*===================================*

I would get rid of all save one of Marillat's repositories save one,
in this case keep the testing repo.

To track testing on such a list, I would do this in /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 850

Package: *
Pin: origin download.tuxfamily.org
Pin-Priority: 851

Package: *
Pin: origin www.arearelax.org
Pin-Prioriy: 849

Package: *
Pin: origin www.debian-multimedia.org
Pin-Priority: 840

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debin,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 80

This will get compiz from shame's repo, baseline packages from Testing,
your extra stuff from arearelax and Marillat, then Sid, and lastly,
experimental.
