Hmm, maybe it was just the syntax being wrong. The following line at least succeeded:

--solver aspcud -o APT::Solver::Strict-Pinning=false -o APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences='-removed,-changed,-new,+count(solution,APT-Pin:=/995/)'

Next up, checking that it does what I want.

Just a worry that came up thinking about the request to aspcud: I think it is allowed to come up with solutions that don't involve any package from -proposed/unstable. So I think that if we go this route (and I think we should/must, not only for the issue encountered in this bug), autopkgtest must check that packages from the triggers are NOT from !-proposed/testing.
