I.e., whatever I do, I only get the version from unstable and a "W: ".
Commenting out "APT::Default-Release "unstable";" in
/etc/apt/apt.conf doesn't help either, neither does commenting out
all pinnings in /etc/apt/preferences.
Looking through apt's changelog, it might be related to the changes
in cmdline/apt-get.cc; or is something wrong on my machine?

Ok, on this machine (with default release set to testing) I get the
same results.
Commenting out APT::Default-Release and removing pinnings doesn't
help either.
It seems there's something broken between apt 0.7.23.1 and 0.7.25 :)
Cheers,
