That's the *intent*, but it's not quite there yet. (For one, we don't
yet have reliable testing security updates.)

That's right, I'm afraid. The KDE team have finished their part here;
it's now at the point where we (the release team) are poking at various
bits of the distribution to make sure everything stays installable when
upgrading the remaining parts of KDE in testing. It's a little
complicated for various reasons related to sound libraries.

However, it's an absolute requirement for release, and I expect it to be
done inside the next week or two.

Cheers,
