Sadly Debian Testing, outside of a freeze period prior to a Stable
release, has this habit of allowing Britney to delete important
packages. Despite the statements put out by Debian, Debian Testing is
not a viable rolling release. Debian Unstable is the only viable rolling
release. Even then during a freeze it is irritating.

Has Linux Mint Debian Edition got a fix for this problem with Debian
Testing?
