I hate that.  Quote from a few lines above the `setup.hint' section:

  Test versions are specified via the setup.hint file as described
  below. It is not required that your package have a test version.
  Use of a test version of a package is at the discretion of the
  package maintainer.

And how long does it take to wait for "major bug reports from the users"?
1 day? A week? A month?

Not amused,
Corinna
