I now have:

+                   The <em>testing</em> distribution normally receives
+                   its packages via the <em>unstable</em> distribution
+                   after a short time lag.  However sometimes, such as
+                   during release freezes before a new stable release or
+                   when a problem in the <em>testing</em> distribution
+                   requires fixing before the <em>unstable</em> version
+                   can migrate, direct updates to a package in
+                   <em>testing</em> are useful.  This distribution value
+                   is used for those exceptions, after approval from the
+                   release managers.

for that paragraph.  Does that look better?
