Unless I'm way off - and I suspect that someone will promptly correct me
if I am - that will be the case.

sarge is a specific version in the package hierarchy (my terminology may
be a bit off here), and "testing/stable" are pointers to such
versions. So in essence, sarge will not change, but the pointer "stable"
will start pointing to sarge. (And testing will start pointing to
whatever the new testing will be.)
