Thus, there is security support for testing, but in general it cannot be
expected to be of the same quality as for stable:
• Updates for testing-security usually get less testing than updates
for stable-security.
• Updates for embargoed issues take longer because the testing
security team does not have access to embargoed information.
• Testing is changing all the time which increases the likelyhood of
problems with the build infrastructure. Such problems can delay
security updates in testing.
In order to have a secure testing installation, you must run apt-get
update && apt-get dist-upgrade to update your system on a regular basis
and have the following in your SourcesList:
• deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free
• deb-src http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free
Just my 2¢
