I understand that LMDE is based on Debian testing (wheezy?)
but..if thats true, why when i add the wheezy repo, i get an extra of 1GB of updates? (for example, now if u run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
it says that i am up to date, but i am still using kernel 3.0.. wasnt testing supposed to use newer versions? )

Have you reviewed the LMDE FAQ for an answer? http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=197&t=91405
LMDE is based on Debian testing. If you add (instead of replace) the Debian testing repositories, you will have to set that up properly with pinning. The flow is that new packages from Debian testing are accepted into the LMDE incoming repository, where after few weeks of testing they get assembled into an "Update Pack" that is pushed to LMDE latest repository. The latter is the default repository for LMDE. If you add the Debian testing repository, it will have newer packages, that haven't yet been accepted as stable enough yet for LMDE.
