just now it's special case, because of preparing next stable,
so "testing" is frozen

http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives#s-testing

5.6.1 What about "testing"? How is it `frozen'?

When the "testing" distribution is mature enough, the release manager
starts `freezing' it. The normal propagation delays are increased to
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ensure that as little as possible new bugs from "unstable" enter
"testing".

After a while, the "testing" distribution becomes truly `frozen'. This
means that all new packages that are to propagate to the "testing" are
held back, unless they include release-critical bug fixes. The "testing"
distribution can also remain in such a deep freeze during the so-called
`test cycles', when the release is imminent.
