I think you're confused about the ways packages migrate between
releases. See (for instance):

Whatever packages are in squeeze (as testing) at the time it's released
will remain in squeeze (as stable). So: fix bugs in unstable, get the
fixed packages into testing (which is normally automatic), and they'll
automatically be in the next stable release.
