See [1]this entry in the FAQ. Also note that packages from Debian unstable
are included in Hoary universe, so you can simply add an entry for Hoary
(main + universe) and then set 'APT::Default-Release "warty";' in
/etc/apt/conf, as explained in the [2]PinningHowto. This way, no packages
except those you have choosen (and their dependencies) will be upgraded to
Hoary.
