I'm missing the most important question:
1.1 Is testing secure?
No. Security fixes go into unstable, and tickle into testing just
(as slowly) as other new package versions. Stable is secure because
security fixes are manually backported to stable; there is as yet
(DATE) no similar effort for testing.
At least, that is how I understand it; maybe things have changed?
Greetings,
Jan.
