Let me try again: when you run 'apt-cache policy r-recommended', does it show
you a version 2.15, and if so, does it have the particular version.release
you specified?  If it exists, you need to work with apt documentation to see
how to override the preference for a different (higher) version.

It should work in theory as you showed, but I a) never had a need for that
and never done it and b) don't know anybody else who did.
