So now I have, and the following /etc/apt/preferences seems to do The
Right Thing(TM):

Package: *
Pin: release c=os
Pin-Priority: 992

Package: *

Pin-Priority: 991

You'll also need to do the following:

  cd /etc/apt/gpg
  wget -O - http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/freshrpms/RPM-GPG-KEY > freshrpms
  rpm --import freshrpms
