FYI, Debian-Testing _has_ had Security Team coverage for a year or two.

Before that, you had the painfully difficult job of skim-reading
the security-alert mailing list, and once every few months pulling down
and manually doing "dpkg -i" on a package at some URL listed in the
securit alert (if it wasn't available automatically from -Stable,
-Testing, or -Unstable).  Traumatic, I tell you.  I don't know how I
endured it.
