Ubuntu seems to work differently from Debian.  Debian's security updates
come from a different server but belong to the same "archive" (the
identity referred to by a=hoary in your /etc/apt/preferences), whereas
Ubuntu's security updates come from the same server but belong to a
different archive.  The different Archive lines in these two files
demonstrate the difference:
http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary-security/main/binary-i386/Release
http://security.debian.org/dists/sarge/updates/main/binary-i386/Release

I'm guessing you've either followed someone else's (possibly incorrect)
instructions or have been experimenting with your own settings without a
full understanding of pinning.  Read the apt_preferences(5) manual page
and browse the FTP archives for both Debian and Ubuntu to gain more
understanding of this topic.  You've already discovered that "apt-cache
policy" is a good tool for diagnosing your configuration.

If you're looking for a quick answer, I'd guess you need to add a block
for the hoary-security archive similar to your block for hoary.

You could also consider removing all entries from /etc/apt/preferences
unless they're necessary for backports or other third-party
repositories.
