You are missing the blank lines to separate the records:

$ man apt_preferences | awk '/Effect/,/^$/'
   The Effect of APT Preferences
       The APT preferences file allows the system administrator to control the
       assignment of priorities. The file consists of one or more multi-line
       records separated by blank lines. Records can have one of two forms, a
       specific form and a general form.

If it still does not work with separated records then you should post
the output of e.g.

apt-cache policy gimp


records are separated by blank lines. I just didn't know that those blanks were essential and compressed the listing in the e-mail. sorry about the confusion. and it still doesn't work.

$ apt-cache policy gimp
gimp:
