Bug#550283: devref: §5.3. - clarify to install and test on an up-to-date unstable system

[Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org>]

Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.3
Severity: normal

Hello,
in §5.3 we can read:

      ● Install the package and make sure the software works, or
        upgrade the package from an older version to your new version
        if a Debian package for it already exist

but what we really want is to test that package in an up-to-date unstable system
(be it a real or a chroot).

Could you please clarify it, so that people checking their packages in a
testing, mixture of suite, some Ubuntu release system can be correctly guided on
how to test a new package?

Thanks in advance,
Sandro
