I didn't write that - Drew Cohan did. Please be careful with

You can have that there if you like, but it won't help you much unless
somebody undertakes to provide security updates for testing. The only
things in testing/updates right now appear to be glibc 2.2.5-9.woody.3,
released shortly before woody, and tinyproxy 1.4.3-2woody2; I'm not sure
why the latter is there. Both have been superseded by newer versions in
testing itself.
The infrastructure is there, since there were a few security updates to
testing during the run-up to the woody release, but it's not being used
at the moment.
