Hi all, I need eclipse >= 3.7 to use plug-ins that refuse to work with the eclipse version available in squeeze. So, I'd be happy with the version from testing.
I've created apt.conf """ $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf APT::Default-Release "squeeze"; """ and added sources for wheezy, complete sources.list is the following """ $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main deb-src http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main # for LibreOffice deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main # testing deb http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main """ However, I must be missing something """ $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -t wheezy install eclipse Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze Release.gpg Ign http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/contrib Translation-en Ign http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-en Ign http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/non-free Translation-en Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze-updates Release.gpg Ign http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates/main Translation-en Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy Release.gpg Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/contrib Translation-en Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main Translation-en Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/non-free Translation-en Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze Release Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze-updates Release Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy Release Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze/main Sources Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze/contrib Sources Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze/non-free Sources Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze/main amd64 Packages Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze/contrib amd64 Packages Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze/non-free amd64 Packages Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze-updates/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze-updates/main amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org squeeze-updates/main amd64 Packages Hit http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release.gpg Ign http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main Translation-en Hit http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy/non-free Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy/main amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy/contrib amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lt.debian.org wheezy/non-free amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates/main Translation-en Hit http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release Hit http://backports.debian.org squeeze-backports Release.gpg Ign http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports/main Translation-en Hit http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release Hit http://backports.debian.org squeeze-backports Release Hit http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main Sources Hit http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates/main amd64 Packages Hit http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main Sources Hit http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages Hit http://backports.debian.org squeeze-backports/main amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://backports.debian.org squeeze-backports/main amd64 Packages Reading package lists...

So, my main question is how to install a package from testing on a stable system (eclipse in this case), but I would also like to understand the weird upgrade behaviour as I'd prefer to leave sources for testing enabled to receive updates for the packages that have been installed from testing.
