Yes, I did "aptitude safe-upgrade" after "aptitude update" and then
"aptitude full-upgrade".

I selected "n" and it prompted me to "downgrade the packages to testing".
This means that the versions it had were newer than testing, i.e., from sid.
How could this be if I followed 2.7.3 of DR? According to that, my candidate
version is appropriately set:

stuckey(a)debian:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "testing";

Have you tried "apt-get update" or "aptitude update" before trying to
install these packages?

Try

apt-get install fakeroot devscripts build-essential

If it gives error then post your /etc/apt/sources.list

I selected "n" and then "y" and it downgraded the packages to testing. Why
would they have been upgraded in the first place? Here is my sources file:
