Not acording to aj's message on debian-deve-announce

} So, how will this actually work, since we have package pools? Basically,
} we'll end up with something like the following:
}
}	stable:   potato
}	testing:  woody
}	unstable: sid
}
} When woody is released, this will become:
}
}	stable:   woody
}	testing:  sarge
}	unstable: sid
}
} New packages will be uploaded to unstable, added to the pool and initially
} only referenced by sid. After 14 days, and assuming no problems are
} found, and it's successfully recompiled on all appropriate architectures,

So back to Lauri's question, Newly uploaded thing goes into unstable
(sid) and after a while they will flow into testing (woody). That
could be why the old stuff still remains in woody.
