I thought the same way, but there was a thread on this list (I
couldn't find it in the archives) in which somebody said that the
package file should be removed from testing when it's being send to
the release manager. Intuitively, I would think that it's best if the
files stays in testing/ until it's released, to avoid a gap in the
file availability.
