    If you mark it for install on the interactive screen it should choose
    the sarge/testing version. Assuming that you don't have additional
    sources like experimental, the sid version # should always just be the
    highest version number. I agree that it can be confusing at times.
    With sarge/unstable/experimental/installed there can be up to 4
    versions, while if there is only one it doesn't imply that it is
    actually a sarge version[it can either mean sarge=unstable or there is
    no sarge version].
