You mean the color of the source column (which is a combination of
per-arch states) if the monitor were run on testing?

This basically means running the monitor twice: once for unstable, and
once for testing. It would even produce less data (loss of per-arch
states in testing) for the same amount of computation. I think this
should be done directly on the release.debian.org setup.
