Thank you Dominik. I thought I had tested /etc/apt/preferences but
obviously I had not.
Under Karmic aptitude does respect the policies set in
/etc/apt/preferences but not preferences.d/*. The tools apt-cache and
apt-get also respect the policies in /etc/apt/preferences.

Aptitude ignores apt_
Same problem here with Lucid.
aptitiude seems to use /etc/apt/preferences but not /etc/apt/preferences.d/*

Dominik

I can confirm this bug. (or I am doing something completely wrong)
summary:
I would like to install one package from karmic-proposed and all other
packages from karmic, karmic-updates, or karmic-security. I added the
karmic-proposed repository to sources, and a pinning block to apt/prferences
