You can add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf: APT::Default-Release "testing"; This corresponds to the -t option of apt-get. According to apt-get's manual page: This option controls the default input to the pol- icy engine, it creates a default pin at priority 990 using the specified release string. I couldn't find further documentation about this 'policy engine', but it worked for me. Jitse Niesen
