That will only happen if one artificially prevents new uploads from
entering testing, and the package has extremely long upstream release
cycles (meaning that the testing version is years old, tested,
fool-proof), or if it's very small. For example, tetex-{base,bin,extra}
will for sure never enter this distribution, and I guess the same holds
for xfree, MTAs, Emacsen, KDE/Gnome, etc.
Furthermore, it would be very hard to tell whether a newly filed bug for
sure does *not* apply to the version in testing.

Happy flaming, then. For sure teTeX is one of the most important
packages, just to make sure this doesn't get overlooked.
