Hi group,

I used apt-move sync to get a local mirror of all debian packages
currently installed on my stable system. Then, I used apt-move to add a
few locally compiled packages to this mirror. I specified this mirror at
the top of sources.list.

The problem is that I use APT::Default-Release in apt.conf. This way, I
can use apt-cache to search in testing for packages, backport them and
install them. When doing an apt-get install, I won't clobber my system
with testing packages. However, with this option enabled, I don't get
apt-get to install a locally compiled package. It is in the local
mirror, apt-show-versions thinks it is the latest version available in
_stable_, but still apt-get wants to get the old version from stable. I
played around with the Release file, but to no avail. Also, I tried to
specify 3.0r1a as the version in Default-Release, but that didn't work
and I suspect that this might break security.debian.org/updates since
that uses 3.0 as version string.

How do I tell apt-get that my backported packages are really, really,
_really_ in stable?

TIA,

David
