It is just that the moniker testing does not apply to each individual package (if you read up on the branch meanings, "testing" quality software nearly always goes to experimental first), but rather the distribution as a whole. That is, all software that makes it to into testing should be stable and release quality and ready for testing with *the rest of the packages slated for the next release*.
