I am aware of this distinction, I just considered the start of (more or
less) regular DTSA publishing as a sign of Debian Testing Security team
activity on the testing suite.

Having a (more or less regular) DTSA flow is certainly not enough to
claim that Debian testing is officially supported security-wise, but
it's certainly better than not even having DTSAs...  ;-)
