As I understand it they have nothing to do with each other. 'Proposed
updates' is for proposed updates to stable: security fixes, critical bug
fixes, etc. Packages are uploaded to it when warranted. 'Testing' is what
will eventually become the next 'stable'. Packages migrate to it from
'unstable' automatically when they meet certain criteria, which include
being free of rc bugs for two weeks and having all their dependencies
satisfied by packages already in testing.
