Your suggestions update sources.list to unstable without any pinning: could break installs

The suggestions at http://mozilla.debian.net/  when you select Debian
Testing are:

    You need to add the following entry in /etc/apt/sources.list or a
new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:

        deb http://http.debian.net/debian unstable main

    You can install it with the following commands:

        $ apt-get update
        $ apt-get install -t unstable iceweasel

You aren't suggesting any pinning: people will unknowingly update to
unstable, potentially breaking installations. Better options would be to
either make the users to pin unstable, or delete the apt line for
unstable and apt-get update again.
