No. You don't "officially" install Sid. You install stable. You then
upgrade using apt-get or aptitude upgrade. See 3.1.11 of the FAQS I

It actually is possible to "officially" install Sid:

"Use the business card image. Boot from it in expert mode or with
priority=medium. You will then be able to select the distribution
(stable/testing/unstable) during mirror selection."
