Well, actually, you will also want to add the following line to your
/etc/apt/apt.conf. It tells apt not to upgrade all your packages to
unstable just because there are new versions there.

      APT::Default-Release "stable";

You might also want to run apt-get with the "-s" option (no action) to
make sure that apt-get is going to do what you want first.

I think it's "make uninstall", but I'm not sure.
