| Package: *
| Pin: release a=unstable
| Pin-Priority: -10

The other way of doing it is like this:

        Package: *
        Pin: release a=testing
        Pin-Priority: 999

Make the priority 1001 and apt will downgrade your unstable software
to the versions in testing.  (The usual disclaimer about how Debian
doesn't support downgrades goes here.)
