If you want to make sure that the rest of your system stays at "testing"
when you do the next update/upgrade then you can use this configuration
option:

APT::Default-Release "testing";

See "man apt_preferences" for details.

I just checked the bug database and packages.qa: There are no serious
open bugs against the unstable version of scribus-ng; the only reason
that this version has not entered testing seems to be that the package
does not build on arm and armel. I think it will work fine on i386 or
amd64 testing systems. (I did not notice any problems with it on
Sid/amd64, but I have to admit that I have not used it very often in the
past few months.)
