no.
And in the Ubuntu world, I don't think it would make sense. Right now
Ubuntu provides 2 stable releases: Warty (for the next 12 months),
and Hoary (for the next 18 months). And in 6 months, they will have 3
stables supported releases (warty, hoary, breezy), with the
yet-unnamed next version being the "unstable" version.
So a "debian-style" system of stable/instable/testing is not directly
applicable.
