Thanks for passing on that info.  I now see they still hadn't solved
it by the end of August:

" The testing-security autobuilder network is not yet operational.
   Until this is resolved, there can be no official security support for
   testing.  Well, what can I say?  We had hopes that this could be up
   and running by the 12th, but this was too optimistic.  There has been
   progress on tracking security problems for sarge, but all updates
   still come via unstable and testing-proposed-updates, making upgrade
   testing from woody a risky proposition."

Just as well I haven't upgraded yet, I suppose.
