Debian testing runs in a cycle with their releases. Just after the 
preceding one (bookworm) came out, it opened to a lot of heavy-lifting 
upgrades and you're more likely to see glitches. Then they start calling 
code freezes and stabilize things when they get closer to releasing the 
next one (trixie) in about two years and you'll see fine-tuning of bugs 
in the pre-release era and testing will be a lot more stable for any 
innocent users, then comes the grand release announcement and the next 
new cycle.
