As far as I am informed, there is a testing-security pool which just has never been used to push in a security update. I suspect that this will happen once a security update must be done for a package that cannot migrate normally from unstable to testing because of library deps. Actually, it is one of the major "beefs" I have with testing-security that this mechanism has not yet been in use. I'd like to see it at least once before I rely on it. > > NACK.
