    "aptitude search '?narrow(?installed,?not(?origin(Ubuntu)))' | wc -l"
    tells me I have 735 packages from Wheezy.  (Well, including a handful
    from git-ppa, ksplice-uptrack, and dropbox.)  Time for some fun
    dependency resolution!

    Interestingly, it says it will downgrade 971 packages.  Wonder why that
    is so much larger than the number that aptitude search gives.

    And you did ‘apt-get dist-upgrade’?
price / debian / price // Apr 26 23:15:03 (Greg Price)
    Oh, with 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ==

    andersk: That's what I thought from the apt_preferences man page, but it
    doesn't seem to be working.

    Only with apt-get, not with aptitude, apparently.
price / debian / price // Apr 26 23:15:19 (Greg Price)
    Just tried that -- had been 'install'.
price / debian / price // Apr 26 23:15:39 (Greg Price)
    Hmm, not with apt-get either.

    Hmm, I think that's downgrading all the 'maverick-updates' packages to
    the versions from 'maverick'.  Let's tweak those preferences...
price / debian / price // Apr 26 23:16:32 (Greg Price)
    My /etc/apt/preferences is
    
    Package: *
    Pin: release o=Debian
    Pin-Priority: -10
    
    Package: *
    Pin: release a=maverick
    Pin-Priority: 1001

    BTW, I found it easier to just pin Ubuntu up slightly (600).  Then
    when I upgrade a package from a PPA, it will get future upgrades from
    the PPA, but if I don’t, it will only get upgrades from Ubuntu.

    Makes sense.

    I may experiment with that, as soon as I have my computer working again.

    I think you can also pin every Ubuntu package to 1001 and apt will
    downgrade all the Debian packages to Ubuntu packages.
