I think somewhere in the debian manual there is an explanation for apt-pinning (wich maybe lack these examples)(... Anyway, maybe you could provide your example?

Firefox, Thunderbird etc.
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before on the list. Does anyone know when is the firefox (or thunderbird) package going to be in the unstable/testing of Debian Sarge? I am on sarge (testing) and can see only Firefox version 0.9.3 Thanks, Sayantan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know about Thunderbird, as it seems version 0.9-2 has not yet been uploaded to unstable. BTW, you can learn about packages entering testing at http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/. I visit it every day to know the status of testing (which is the distribution I use).
