Good plan. So:

| (11:05) slaniel at slaniel-laptop:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences 
| Package: *
| Pin: release a=jaunty
| Pin-Priority: 700
| 
| Package: mutt
| Pin: release a=sid
| Pin-Priority: 1000

And then:

| (11:04) slaniel at slaniel-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install -t sid mutt
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree       
| Reading state information... Done
| Package mutt is not available, but is referred to by another package.
| This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
| is only available from another source

I assume there's some easy fix to get
past this?

And incidentally, as mentioned on
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
, I got the "Dynamic MMap" error, which
I fixed by upping the APT::Cache-Limit.
