don't know if this helps, but the Debian folks do the promotion dance like this:

<http://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.release-lifecycle.html>

"Every day a program automatically selects the packages to include in Testing, according to elements guaranteeing a certain level of quality:
	• lack of critical bugs, or, at least fewer than the version currently included in Testing;
	• at least 10 days spent in Unstable, which is sufficient time to find and report any serious problems;
	• successful compilation on all officially supported architectures;
	• dependencies that can be satisfied in Testing, or that can at least be moved there together with the package in question."

Cheerio!
