Hate to admit this, but when installing gnome, I move the apt preferences file out of the way to be able to use the -t function without a care, or, if lazy, set synaptic to use whatever branch we need, then replace the file for regular use.

Best,

Sure, I would expect apt-pinning.  In grml 0.9 I did what you suggest

I was hoping to see your apt preferences file(s), the nitty gritty, not
broad educational advice...but thank you.
