2. Is there a document (or blog or ??) targeted at someone using
a "testing" release for the first time. My interest relates to the
move from MySQL to Mariadb - I've already been pointed to links to
the fine details of the change. I'm asking if there something with
a broad perspective on dealing with any testing release.
Our official documentation is available here:
https://www.debian.org/devel/testing
I don't believe I've seen that page before.
I think the portion titled "Can you provide a real, non-trivial
example?" will prove useful.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
Although I read that page some time ago, it has much more "relevance"
when re-read with a specific problem in mind.
I wrote a blog post about using testing (some of it is out of date
now):

I've an old laptop dedicated to my experiments including figuring out
how to "have Debian my way" [apologies to a fast food chain;]. That page
gives me several ideas to make life easier.
Thank you.
