You should. Try the following in /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release c=os
Pin-Priority: 992
Package: *
Pin: release c=stable
Pin-Priority: 991
See but this doesn't allow you to pick and choose from os and stable; it
forces os packages to override stable packages. I'd imagine that with
enough effort apt-rpm (via lua) could be made to allow such choosy
selection of available packages within various APT components.
