I was just starting to wonder the same thing. After trying
unsucessfully to install 'testing' from scratch I found that the only
reliable way is to install 'stable' first and then upgrade. More
recently I found, like you, that some packages are not available in
'testing' and I suspect that this is why some of my installs didn't
work. For the sake of getting things to work I have started including
both 'stable' and 'testing' in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, but I'm
sure this isn't the right thing to do.
