  it seems that if there is a dependency between these than it
should have be declared so they won't migrate to testing 
independently.  i'm not sure it is worth filing a bug about
since the transition is not completed yet anyways.

  i run testing on my day to day system because i do want to find
bugs before they make it to stable, especially for the things i
use every day.

  i'm not using the testing distribution for hard production tasks 
so if it breaks and i do need to get on-line i have a few other 
different bootable partitions or even a USB stick just in case.
