Yes. The sid distribution doesn't freeze, and in fact when testing freezes, this is when a huge number of new packages arrive in sid, which were in some way incompatible with what was frozen in testing. If the fixed sid packages are relevant to testing, the fix will be transferred. The freeze is about software versions, and does not prevent bug fixing of the frozen versions, which is of course the whole point of the freeze. -- Joe
