In the apt_preferences man page. Here is the relevant bit, <sarcasm> although the
whole thing is such exciting reading I don't know how anyone could pass
up the chance to read it. </sarcasm>

APT's Default Priority Assignments
       If there is no preferences file or if there is no entry in the
       file that applies to a  particular  version  then  the priority
       assigned  to that version is the priority of the distribution to
       which that version belongs. It is possible to single out a
       distribution, "the target release", which receives a higher
       priority than other distributions  do  by default.   The  target
       release  can  be  set  on  the  apt-get  command  line  or  in
       the  APT  configuration  file /etc/apt/apt.conf. For example,

       apt-get install -t testing some-package

       APT::Default-Release "stable";
