How long of a wait? If I understand this correctly, users of 'testing' (currently 'sarge') can do *nothing* when new security problems arise? They must wait for the fix in 'unstable' to make it into testing. Sounds like 'testing' contains a "window" during which "bad people" could do "bad things" ...
