- From http://www.debian.org/security/faq:
Q: How is security handled for testing and unstable?
A: The short answer is: it's not. Testing and unstable are rapidly moving
targets and the security team does not have the resources needed to properly
support those. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are
strongly encouraged to stay with stable. However, the security secretaries
will try to fix problems in testing and unstable after they are fixed in the
stable release.
