I think that the best correspondence to the "beta" idea in Debian
is the freeze process (explained here [1] for buster). So x.0 is
considered "release quality".

The freeze process is designed to cope with the specialties of a
big and complex software distribution, where you want its many
interdependent parts to "settle" in "layers", starting from the
most fundamental ones and propagating to the "leaves".

Cheers
