It depends on what you call it in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. If
you refer to it as 'woody', then it will follow woody between testing
and stable (likely with an intermediate frozen stage). If you call it
'testing', you'll always follow the current testing distribution, even
if woody freezes and becomes stable.
