An idea would be to use[1] and promote it as security support for 
testing, also outside the freeze, e.g. for the cases where a security 
relevant update via unstable would take more than one day or so to 
migrate.

This reminds me of this proposal:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg00275.html

As far as I recall it also had the codename "bob" (after RollerBob), but 
I can't find the reference right now.
