I tried to change /etc/apt/preferences to this (one single rule):
Package: * Pin: origin ftp.cz.debian.org Pin-Priority: 999
in order to increase the priority, just to see what would happen. Unfortunately nothing, on apt-cache policy I get the same list that I posted before. All sources have the same priority 990. Maybe the "origin" syntax is wrong?
You probably need the scheme too (e.g. ftp://ftp.cz.debian.org) and possibly more (the full path after "deb" or "seb-src" in /etc/apt/sources.list). But I've never tried.
I've tried both the scheme and path, only the scheme and only the full path, with and without double quotes. Nothing seems to work.
I avoid that by not using any target release in apt.conf, as it is useless (and possibly harmful[*]) when using preferences.

I run this on my home computer, where I've switched to unstable immediately after installing Woody. So I guess there aren't security updates for me anyway since unstable is not supported by the security team (but please correct me if I'm wrong).
