You will notice no change.  Packages will continue to flow into Testing
from Unstable.

Right now the labels Sarge and Testing point to the same thing, while
Stable points to the Woody archive.  When the release occurs the effect
from your point of view will be that a copy of Testing as it exists at that
point in time will be created and the labels Sarge and Stable pointed to
it.

Thus if you want to continue to track Testing after the release point at
Testing and be happy.  If you want to track Testing until the release and
then use Sarge (which will be Stable then) point at Sarge.
