What is the correct way to setup apt pinning in debian?
Purpose: so that the installation of packages obeys the rules I defined and during installation it was not necessary to specify where to install.
Rules (approximate):
Package: qtox libavformat-tox56 libavdevice-tox56 libavcodec-tox56 libavutil-tox54 libswscale-tox3
Pin: origin "pkg.tox.chat"
Pin-Priority: 991
Package: *
Pin: origin "pkg.tox.chat"
Pin-Priority: -10
Package: *
Pin: release n=jessie
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release n=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: *
Pin: release n=jessie-updates
Pin-Priority: 500

Regarding qTox, this is not the problem, there, after the community separated and climbed to a new site, the repository maintainer has no time to fix the repositories for new OS versions, I have a similar situation in Ubuntu 15.10, since I usually update packages through Synaptic, it’s more convenient with test versions of Ubuntu - then fixed the packages there.
Issue in the repository, you can comment/subscribe: https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/issues/1402
If the question is related only to qTox, then I didn’t do pinning at one time, so as not to get confused later on what came from where, but collected qTox statically for different distributions and put it in a publicly accessible repository - now I just update the sources once a week and then in a regular way deb arrives.
If anyone is interested, then tox.pkg . In particular, the repositories for qTox .
