Debian's testing and unstable are pre-release teasers.  unstable is the 
collection of the very newest packages, and testing is the collection of 
packages being considered for the new release.  At some point they 
freeze testing and call it a new release, that's when it gets a number.  
People install the pre-release collections at their own peril.  It has 
happened that people running unstable been locked out of their machine 
due to package issues.  So if you see testing/unstable you can assume 
the user is living on the edge.  Configure any way you feel like - the 
user should be able to work out the details.

If you're interested I could build some debian packages and we could 
submit them to debian.  I notice MzScheme is in Debian, but DrScheme isn't.
