Debian is run by humans. Humans, being humans, make mistakes. It's
been admitted that libqt5x11extras5 v5.5.1 getting into testing was not
ideal. Also, reference to this being a corner case. IOW, a situation
that was difficult, if not impossible, to foresee.

It works the way *they* want it, mistakes notwithstanding. If you don't
like that method of migration, then maybe Debian testing isn't for you.
Breakage happens in testing. By and large, not frequently, but it does
happen. Also, it's not usually such a major issue. To paraphrase a
well known English saying; "Stuff happens".
