[plug] Debian: no telnet access after stable -> testing upgrade

[Denis Brown]

Ooooo... sorry!

I pointed my sources.list to "woody" not as per the original posting.  BUT 
I was going to use the word "testing" and may have wound up in a very 
interesting mess.  I would agree with Brian at first sight, that "unstable" 
is, well, unstable and therefore to be avoided.  On second thinking however 
I acknowledge the logic.

Brian's additional questions / comments are interesting to me, too, because 
that is exactly how I had arranged things -- apt-get points to "stable" and 
I had not thought through the consequences of this, long-term.  I'm looking 
forward to the replies on this point especially.

Cheers,
Denis
