Very true. But I could restore most of it.

By changing the link you only change the python-version that will be
started when you start python with that command. But that has nothing
to do with the python that apt-get considers as the default python !.

Adapting Gerhards' advice I created a preferences-file
in which unstable has the highest priority, and then I could install
libwxgtk2.4-python, which installed python2.2.2-5 as well.

As soon as you make 'unstable' the track to be installed,
you make python 2.2.2-5 the default python (for the time being).

I still have some questions, but they belong on a debian list.
