Debian testing is an unreleased development version of Debian. It is expected that it might break from time to time. Would installing Debian stable and then upgrading to testing be an option? I would like to suggest staying with what Debian has actually released, "stable" aka "jessie", if you find it hard to find even simple workarounds for bugs that _are_ present in Debian testing.
