Big problems with apt-pinning

I'm using Debian Jessie.

Basically what I want is:

-Jessie's Main packages to have a priority of 990;
-Jessie's Security pacakges to have a priority of 500;
-Steam and Catalyst to have a priority of 10;
-Jessie's Backport packages to have a priority of 1;
-MX15's repo to have a priority of 1;
-All other non-Free packages to have a priority of "-32768";

However, it seems impossible to do.

Here's my '/etc/apt/preferences' file:
Code:
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie,c=main

Then, if I update:
Code:

What am I doing wrong?

Here's some example of how fglrx is being pinned to 10, no matter the origin:
Code:
root@amarildo:~# apt-cache policy fglrx-driver
fglrx-driver:
  Installed: 1:15.9-4~deb8u1
  Candidate: 1:15.12-2~bpo8+1
  Package pin: (not found)
  Version table:
  1:15.12-2~bpo8+1 10
  990 http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports/non-free amd64 Packages
*** 1:15.9-4~deb8u1 10
  990 http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ jessie/non-free amd64 Packages
  -32768 /var/lib/dpkg/status
