What Eric said.  Also I set the default release in /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "sarge";

This way I can include testing, unstable, and stable in my sources.list
file.  It will default to sarge/stable, but I can load other versions of
particular packages using the -t option in apt-get. example:  
apt-get -t testing install apache
