Yes, testing was introduced after package pools were implemented, which was in late 2000 after the release of potato. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0012/msg00004.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0012/msg00011.html The testing distribution started out as a copy of 2.2r2.
