How soon do new releases get packaged into Debian Testing?

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Mono 3.0 has been released yesterday. I am really excited by this release and am curious to know when this will be available in Debian testing (Wheezy). Is there a standard timeline set by Debian project for when the newest release of a software will be made available into Testing or in general any of the branches, except Stable? (HowTos)

Staying on testing 34 weeks 4 days ago

I understand that having "wheezy" in apt.sources means "testing" now (though frozen) and then "stable" one Wheezy goes stable. To keep a "rolling" release, "wheezy" can be changed to "testing" so that it does not go "stable"."testing" is now frozen, so at this point, wheezy = testing?

Time to (release) party! ;) 7 weeks 5 days ago

For me, the real excitement is that once Wheezy is released, the Testing freeze will thaw and updates will start to trickle down.Debian Stable has a well-earned reputation for being...well, stable.  I suppose anyone who sticks with Stable as a matter of policy may be excited about the change in features between Squeeze and Wheezy...

How To Create A Debian Wheezy (Testing) OpenVZ Template

Wheezy / Waldorf updates 1 year 5 weeks ago

Just want to make sure I understand this correctly. Wheezy is Debian testing, so if you have the "testing" repo in your sources.list file, you will track the rolling release of Wheezy as all the updates come through during the development process. Unless you change your sources to "wheezy", after the release of Wheezy, you'll then continue to track the next testing.
