Paul, it's shown in my original message:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 21285    21285            6 Feb  5  2011 testing -> wheezy
lrwxrwxrwx    1 21285    21285           23 Feb  5  2011
testing-proposed-updates -> wheezy-proposed-updates
drwxr-sr-x    5 21285    21285           28 Jan 29  2012 wheezy
drwxr-sr-x    5 21285    21285           21 Jan 29  2012
wheezy-proposed-updates

Take a look at the first character in each line, that's the equivalent to
"ls -l" output.  The "testing" directory starts with an "l", indicating a
symlink.  The listing shows it, too "testing -> wheezy".  The same for the
testing-proposed-updates directory.  If you look further down, the wheezy
and wheezy-proposed-updates directories start with a "d" indicating an
actual directory.

I hope this clears it up!
