That is testing (Lenny).  The documentation may seem to imply that Sid
can't be directly installed, but it actually can, if you have a
(preferably high bandwidth) network connection - don't use those images,
but rather do a netinstall [0].  You may need the businesscard image,
rather than the full netinstall image.  Enable expert mode, and I
believe that you will then be able to specify Sid. Of course, you can
also just install testing and then upgrade to Sid.
