About testing

*[...] That means that things should not break as badly as in unstable or

experimental distributions, because packages are allowed to enter this

distribution only after a certain period of time has passed, and when they

don't have any release-critical bugs filed against them*.
Experimental has ardour2 on it sometimes? I really don't think so :-)

*L'unica speranza di catarsi, ammesso che ne esista una, resta affidata

all'istinto di ribellione, alla rivolta non isterilita in progetti, alla

protesta violenta e viscerale.*
