EXAMPLES

36          # Add the bullseye repo to buster, but do not install any packages by default,
37          # only if explicitely asked for (-1 means "never" for apt)
38           __apt_pin bullseye-default \
39              --package "*" \
40              --distribution bullseye \
41              --priority -1
42
43           require="__apt_pin/bullseye-default" __apt_source bullseye \
44              --uri http://deb.debian.org/debian/ \
45              --distribution bullseye \
46              --component main
47
48           __apt_pin foo --package "foo foo-*" --distribution bullseye
49
50           __foo # Assuming, this installs the `foo` package internally
51
52           __package foo-plugin-extras # Assuming we also need some extra stuff
