IIRC, Debian testing doesn't have a separate channel for security updates. Security updates are handled like regular updates: they start on Debian unstable and then flow down to Debian testing.
The Debian wiki mentions that delays can be specially large after a new release comes out. I don't know if I was misremembering it or if it can be problematic both before and after a stable release comes out. Hopefully someone with more Debian experience can clear this up.

- ohazi 7y agoThis certainly used to be the case. There appears to be an actual channel now, though: http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/testing-security/ http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/testing-sec... I don't know if anything actually shows up here, but you no longer get the error for security.debian.org when you try to upgrade via s/stable/testing/ in sources.list.
