Won't that prevent upgrades when mozilla-browser_2:1+rc2-3 is
available in unstable? What I want is: use some packages from unstable
iff they are newer than the currently installed version.

I don't understand why apt tries to downgrade. I have three versions of
Mozilla:

dist      version     priority

testing   2:0.9.9-6   500
unstable  2:1+rc2-2   700
"local"   2:1+rc2-2.1 100

I know that 700 > 500 > 100, but as 2:1+rc2-2.1 > 2:1+rc2-2  apt has
to downgrade mozilla in order to get the version from unstable, which it
should only do for priorities > 1000 (according to the manpage).

Thanks
Thomas
