The long freeze for Wheezy in Debian affects testing and Sid. Packages 
do not move throught the que. There can be a seemingly stable period 
where testing & /sid are very simialr to Wheezy, the release allows 
packages to proceed..this will eventually  break compatability with 
Wheezy, which may be now..I don't use testing & sid though.

I heart there will be an announcement .
