We never break packages in testing (unless it's a critical situation, and this obviously isn't). Also the cruft package in unstable doesn't hurt much, so it can be left around for a while longer. What we want to do here is to get rid of the old library in testing in order to finish the transition there: the only two options for that are to remove scilab or to fix it. Given it's a key package and probably has rdeps that'd mean the latter. Cheers, Emilio
