in testing-proposed-updates right now (and have build-deps satisfied
in
wheezy).
For reference, it would also require an otherwise no-op upload of the
debian-installer package to unstable, to ensure that testing <=
unstable.
t-p-u is frowned upon for normal packages because the release
team like the testing packages get in unstable, but in the case of
d-i the
only thing that needs to be tested are the installer images which end
up
on the mirror and not in the package repository (the installer
directories
are shared between wheezy and sid).
I believe they once were shared; that's no longer the case - to the
extent that there's a "dak copy-installer" command to migrate the
non-package elements.
