About this image

The debian:latest tag will always point the latest stable release (which is, at the time of this writing, debian:wheezy). Stable releases are also tagged with their version (ie, debian:wheezy is currently also the same as debian:7.4).

The rolling tags (debian:stable, debian:testing, etc) use the rolling suite names in their /etc/apt/sources.list file (ie, deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main).
