Of course. I know that. The whole point of the conversation (and my taking it to d-devel) was that by reassigning the issue to another package as was done by Steinar, nothing would prevent the breakage from migrating to testing too! IMO if an upload of a package is the direct cause of serious breakage, then, even if the actual bug is in another package, the maintainer needs to take responsibility for getting that breakage fixed _before_ allowing his package to migrate to testing. And that was not being done in this case, but all is well now.
