What if you use "testing" and "unstable" instead of "woody" and "sid"
in your preferences file? There was some discussion on that recently,
and some people said using names doesn't work. I've only tried with
the description and haven't had problems.

Of course. If you don't have any preference that says sid is less
desirable than woody, and sid has a newer version of a package, apt
will prefer that one.
