oldstable == previous release (currently sarge)
stable == current release (currently etch)
testing == next release (currently lenny)
unstable == always unstable (always sid)
Packages are uploaded to unstable and, after a while, appear in testing,
replacing older versions (subject to dependencies and security bugs).
Security updates are done for oldstable (for a while), stable and testing.
