Bug#336146: developers-reference: 5.13.2.5 references unstable when it appears to mean testing



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.7
Severity: normal

The third paragraph of 5.13.2.5 (Details of testing updates from
unstable) includes the following sentence:
 | Each try is accepted if unstable is not more uninstallable after the
 | update than before.
talking about the code that generates update_output. However, I'm pretty
sure that it's actually meant to say
 | Each try is accepted if testing is not more uninstallable after the
 | update than before.

Also, it might be worth mentioning that the output of this step is the
testing_output file, parallel to the previous paragraph's mention of the
testing_excuses file coming from the previous stage.

(I was looking at the website at [1], rather than in the local package,
and it claims to be 3.3.7 on the contents page.)
