We've ever introduced support for unreleased operating systems in our
CI environment[1], and I'm not sure it would be a good idea to start
now... It seems to me like it would be pretty misleading.

Personally I'd just live with running tests on single Debian release
until Buster is actually out.


[1] Fedora Rawhide, Debian sid and FreeBSD -CURRENT don't count since
    they're unreleased by definition :)
