That's is! Man, I had a major brain fart! I added "multiverse" to the
end of the "breezy" sources and ckermit was installed--thank you.

By the way... All the "pinning" really serves one purpose--it ensures
that nothing from "universe" or "multiverse" gets installed unless
specifically allowed, since these Components aren't officially supported
by Ubuntu.
