No - Squeeze is testing, Sid is unstable. Very much not the same thing.
Squeeze is nearly ready for release, and so is pretty stable. The
progression is:
Unstable - Sid (always)
Testing - currently Squeeze. Soon to be Wheezy (the present, Sid)
Stable - Lenny now. Soon to be Squeezy.
Old Stable - Etch, but soon to be Lenny.
