My question was really about the apt pinning and why it didn't do what I thought it should.
That's all been cleared up now, although I still wouldn't know how to extend the pinning to exclude community-devel, too. See post #4.

Question remains:

Let's say I want to install a package from extras-devel or cssu-devel, and it wants to pull in dependencies - shouldn't those also be from extras-devel or cssu-devel?
I just tried with claws-mail from extras-devel, and with the apt pinning as above it installed all dependencies from the stable repos?

I got an orange square in my status area today, reminding me of an update:
It asks me to add the Community SSU repository:
name = Community SSU
uri = http://repository.maemo.org/community/
dist = fremantle
components = free non-free

That's CSSU stable, yes?

-- I am running on CSSU thumb with these sources:
Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list 
deb http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free
deb http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://maemo.muarf.org/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/  ./ 
deb http://maemo.muarf.org/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0  ./ 
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
Do I need the CSSU stable in addition to that? I think not?
One option was to ignore.

PS:
It seemed silly to start another thread for this...
