Stability of testing

If the stability of stable is 10 and the stability of unstable is 1, how would you rate the testing distribution? (This might be a useful metric to post on the Debian site to help Debian users decide which distribution is for them.) Also, it would be nice to just update /etc/apt/sources.

"-ldb" should point to ?

I have just revamped a system by installing potato and then apt-get'ing to woody. I have some source code that wants to give gcc a '-ldb' but I have no 'libdb.so' on this system. Am I right to believe that lib[whutever].so symlinks should be created by ldconfig when it is run from a postinst scrip
