Yes, testing == Etch currently.

You could if you wanted to (and wouldn't notice any difference for
now), however once Etch is released then Etch would actually be
Debian Stable and the next name will be testing.

So decide which outcome you wish to aim towards.  If you aim to
always track testing then change it to testing.  If you want to use
it a pre-release to stable and then remain at stable once its
released them leave it as Etch.

Cheers,
Andy
