	# from sid/unstable by not having one unique
	# code name, but a floating one of the next
	# stable release. We know the new release number
	# beforehand, but mapping "testing" to the
	# upcoming version number means that "testing"s
	# version number itself would be floating, creating
	# problems after each new release and requiring an
	# update. On the other hand, giving "testing" a
	# fixed version number such as "999" (smaller than
	# "unstable"s, yet bigger than anything we encountered
	# so far) would create an inconsistency:
	# The "testing" code name would have a different
	# version number than the code-name-to-be-released-
	# next.
	# For now and due to the aforementioned problems,
	# I decided to not handle the "testing" code name
	# at all.
