Namely, what I, as a user, would like only is that pinning per package (wildcarded) name or version works, and that those more specific pins are propagated to EDSP/CUDF dumps, i.e. in the EDSP dump, the APT-Pin field for "package=chromium,version=whatever-is-available-in-unstable" stanza says 505 (as per above /etc/apt/preferences) instead of 501 as it does now.
If I got it wrong, and the current implementation is indeed correct, I'd very much care for having the broad ideas behind it explained to me. (Though I doubt it as maintainers have before admitted to behavior being kind of fuzzy.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
