why is Ardour pretty outdated in stable and not in testing?

Free (Debian Multimedia member),

Could you comment on this? I think it's the best when Ardour will hit 
Lenny. Second option is as a Lenny backport.

Btw. why doesn't Ardour from unstable hit testing? This is normal for 
packages in Sid after some time right? Now there is no Ardour in stable 
AND testing.

Thanks in advance,
