Yes: $ apt-cache policy screen screen: Installed: 4.0.2-4.1 Candidate: 4.0.2-4.1 Version table: 4.0.2-4.1 0 300 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages 4.0.2-4.1 0 200 http://amd64.debian.net stable/main Packages 4.0.2-4.1 0 990 http://amd64.debian.net testing/main Packages *** 4.0.2-4.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Same for all of the other packages in the list. So is this apt-get's fault, or the package archives? If it's the package archives, then all users with these same lines in their sources.list files should be having the same symptoms as me.
