The snapshot of Debian sid used as the starting point for Warty development
was frozen in late June.  Sarge entered its first stage of freeze (affecting
"base" and "standard" packages only) over a month later on August 7th.  The
rest of Debian is not yet frozen, and new versions of software continue to
enter sarge.
