Looks to me like someones been doing some editing and not documenting
it.  Perhaps that means Etch is _very_ close.

According to the Debian Reference:

Currently, `stable/' is a symbolic link to `sarge/', and `testing/' is
     a symbolic link to `etch/'.  This means that `Sarge' is the current
     stable distribution and `Etch' is the current testing distribution.

Something looks fishy to me...
