That's rarely sensible or useful. The buildds necessarily build against
unstable. Building in a testing chroot has been known to *delay*
progress into testing if you're in the middle of a library transition!
The only time you should ever build in a testing chroot is if you're
uploading to testing-proposed-updates.
