Oh yes, that was the crux of the matter. The apt-cache policy output is
a bit confusing in my opinion (sooo many numbers…), and the man page
does not say anything about how to interpret it… Anyways, thanks for the
hint, the following pinning works as expected:

Package: *
Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages
Pin-Priority: 450

Package: libav*
Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages
Pin-Priority: -1


Cheers,
Roland
