was heard to say:

  Sorry about the delay.

  Actually, that's correct: -t in aptitude, as in apt-get, means that
versions whose Release matches that string will be chosen "by default".
You'll get the same result from "apt-get -t blablabla".  I've tried a
couple installs with -t and they generally seem to do the right thing.
If you still have this problem, could you provide a specific example
that isn't working?

    Thanks,
  Daniel
