Hi, I don't know myself what is correct, but I see these related
statements on the Debian wiki [1]:
"""
The reliable way to install testing from scratch is to do a minimal
installation with the stable installer, then upgrade from stable to testing
...
you could use the testing image of the debian-installer, but note that
the testing installer is more for testing the installer than for
installing testing.
"""
I guess that the last sentence in the above quote becomes less
of a concern when the testing installer is close to its final release
state. In other words, if talking about beta-releases of the testing
installer when a new stable release of Debian is close to being finalised.
