In the apt_preferences man page. Here is the relevant bit, <sarcasm> although the
whole thing is such exciting reading I don't know how anyone could pass
up the chance to read it. </sarcasm>
APT's Default Priority Assignments
If there is no preferences file or if there is no entry in the
file that applies to a particular version then the priority
assigned to that version is the priority of the distribution to
which that version belongs. It is possible to single out a
distribution, "the target release", which receives a higher
priority than other distributions do by default. The target
release can be set on the apt-get command line or in
the APT configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf. For example,
apt-get install -t testing some-package
APT::Default-Release "stable";
