No, throw out the alias *now* in the next upload targeting jessie, it's
harmless if it's not there (since [testing] will get sane defaults that
are always correct). It's only needed for testing2sid tests that are to
reuse a tarball (no, symlinks are *not* a solution) (can I create a
proper base tarball from an distupgrade test?), and there are probably
less than log log n people running these in master-slave setups.
It *is* harmful if it is wrong and someone uses piuparts -d testing.
For the benefit of p.d.o it should always be enabled in git. And there
we hopefully remember to change it in time - along with adding new tests
right after the release.

PS: tarball generation needs to be overhauled, I have some ideas,
probably adding tarball/$RELEASE(/$ARCH) sections to p.conf that are not
used to run any tests at all - not implemented, would not have been
freeze material

I recently added locally a jessie-i386-nodocs test - now, where do I get
a proper jessie_i386.tar.gz? I won't even think about having something
with --scriptsdir ...-nodocs create that one :-)
