Unless such core pieces as the debugging tool (ddd) and the data display tool

is ready for testing.
ddd and grace are in Debian testing (etch) amd64 and work fine. So where
exactly is the issue?
We use an mixture of testing and unstable here with the following
priority setting /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -2
So, if a package is still brocken in testing (as parts of gnome at least
at box installation time), we take it from unstable with
apt-get install PACKAGE -t unstable,
including its dependencies.
So far, we observerd no major issues.
