1. With a clean testing sources list, this was fixed in
0.8.1 - which
version are you running?

2. With a mixed testing sources list, it depends on which
sources are
using unstable.

3. The solution in a mixed environment is to ensure that you
have a
primary mirror already in your sources list, then
reconfigure
emdebian-tools so that it removes the primary mirror it
needed to add.

The detailed information you needed to include was just a
complete list
of your sources - apt-cache policy.
