Yes, assuming nothing else tells it that it should not do so by default
(either configuring apt to prefer a specific release or because the
packages are explicitly marked experimental and hence not to be
installed automatically, which is done by having a ~ in the version
number of the package, in which case you have to explicitly ask to
install the package with that version (using packagename=versionnumber
on the command line).  aptitude will list all versions of a package and
let you pick the specific one you want.
