Which is why they are bad ideas to use. There is no way that ARCH or
Gentoo or Kali use the same dependencies. It's called "Dependency Hell"
and the theory of FlatPack and SNAP not needing to follow or use a
distributions is like walking into a whorehouse, naked and having a
million dollars taped to you body. You know you're going to get screwed
but you don't know what else you'll get or if it's curable. 

Changing from "Stable" to "Testing" is trivial and when the apt-get
dist-upgrade command gets ran at the release for the newer version it's
basically going to do a Distribution Upgrade; it'll move you to the
newer version. It's WHY I run Debian, I can set up the system how I
want and just upgrade to the newer version. No disk reformat etc etc. 
In Testing "Bookworm" the Evolution version is 3.46.1-1  currently. So
basically you're on the same distro, just the newer version before the
release.
