Same goes for pinning. Here one can work around this bug by pinning all the releases, e.g. to get package foo from jaunty any everything else from interpid your /etc/apt/preferences should look somewhat like this:

Package: foo
Pin: release a=jaunty
Pin-Priority: 991

Package: *
Pin: release a=intrepid
Pin-Priority: 990

Package: *
Pin: release a=intrepid-updates
Pin-Priority: 990

Package: *
Pin: release a=intrepid-security
Pin-Priority: 990

Package: *
Pin: release a=intrepid-backports
Pin-Priority: 990
