[OMG look at my ugly typo and that on top of turning up really late.]
Interesting. I doubt it has to do with the designation in sources.list.
Could be wrong. Squeeze shows up in lines of my testing results but only by
happenstance.
freeman@Europa:~$ apt-show-versions | grep squeeze
linux-headers-2.6.30-2-686/testing uptodate 2.6.30-8squeeze1
linux-headers-2.6.30-2-common/testing uptodate 2.6.30-8squeeze1
linux-image-2.6.30-2-686/testing uptodate 2.6.30-8squeeze1
freeman@Europa:~$
