Note that if you use the lines above you will stay with sarge once it
gets to stable. If you want to continue tracking testing after that
you should change all occurances of "sarge" with "testing" in the above
lines.
Note also that sarge currently does NOT have a useful security
repository. All security updates for testing need to go through sid
first, so there is a not insignificant delay before they are apt-getable
for testing...
Most of the time that isn't too much of a problem as "apt-get source"
from unstable usually works if you add deb-src lines for unstable in
your source.list .
