When I run 
apt-get update;apt-get -u -t sarge dist-upgrade

I get a different number of packages that
need upgrading than when I run

apt-get update;apt-get -u -t testing dist-upgrade

Which is a different number of packages then when I
run the two commands with the unstable branch commented
out.  The Default-Release should ignore the unstable
branch by default, right?

Help.
