Yup: $ wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/screen/screen_4.0.2-4.1_amd64.deb $ wget http://amd64.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/screen/screen_4.0.2-4.1_amd64.deb $ md5sum screen_4.0.2-4.1_amd64.deb* de0af8737338542645f9c0e14295ac79 screen_4.0.2-4.1_amd64.deb 4913a5102ecb102d6ec43109084d1232 screen_4.0.2-4.1_amd64.deb.1 > I don't get why stable and testing differ though.

Good guess. I changed the order to move the http.us.debian.org line to the end, and now the problem is at least partly resolved: $ apt-cache policy screen screen: Installed: 4.0.2-4.1 Candidate: 4.0.2-4.1 Version table: *** 4.0.2-4.1 0 200 http://amd64.debian.net stable/main Packages 990 http://amd64.debian.net testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.0.2-4.1 0 300 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages $ apt-get -u dist-upgrade Reading package lists...
