As "Testing", which is the name officially given to it regardless of the
official codename for the release they are working on. There are also
"Development" and "Upcoming", though these aren't officially used.
Also, nothing's stopping the developers from giving it a version number. They just
choose not to.

I thought they did all have numbers? I don't
know about the first few
releases, but IIRC, Etch was 3.? (I forget the point number).

Once they are released as "Stable", yes they do. But many people use Stable
only on their servers, and use "Testing" on their desktops. (Testing is
pretty stable - just not Stable). E.g., many (most) people are currently
using Wheezy on their desktops. Wheezy hasn't got a number, so how are
people to refer to it?
