The code names of Debian releases are names of characters from the Toy

+Story animation, \emph{e.g.} sid, jessie, wheezy. \emph{Unstable}
flavor always called \emph{sid}, while a new name chosen for every
upcoming release and assigned to \emph{Testing} to become a code name
of the release when it becomes \emph{Stable}.\\ At the moment
-\emph{squeeze} is \emph{Testing}, and \emph{lenny} is \emph{Stable}.
-As soon as \emph{squeeze} gets released, \emph{Testing} will be given
