   * What led up to the situation?
   I noticed, since long time ago, that I was not anymore able to use
Apt-Pinning for installing packages from Stable and Testing Releases.

     Everytime I try to use "APT-Pinning", I do not get what I want.
     Even if I try /testing or -t testing, or any Release other than
     Experimental, I only get error or Experimental list of packages.
Finally, apt-cache policy only return Sid and Experimental packages.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     If I try
        "apt-cache show -t testing linux-image-amd64"
     OR
        "apt-cache show linux-image-amd64/testing"
     I get this with apt-get:
        E: Release 'testing' for 'linux-image-amd64' was not found
        E: No packages found

Well, the only testing sources.list entries listed in your report are:

#Testing
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

So I'm not sure where you're expecting apt to find information about *binary* packages in testing from.
