Nitpick: please call it extras-unstable (or -experimental), not
extras-testing.
Why? Because the Debian "testing" repository has packages that have
already passed some basic quality control. In particular, it is
extremely rare to get anything into Debian testing that causes problems
with the OS or any other application. Sure, not everybody is going
to have that background, but some of us will, and the very different
meaning of the "testing" moniker will be confusing.
