How do you want to solve the problems with inter-library dependencies?
Consider something like the following:
Package: evolution
Version: 1.0.1-1
Depends: libgal19, libgtkhtml20
Package: libgtkhtml20
Version: 1.0.0-1
Depends: libgal18
This means that evolution is linked with _both_ libgal.so.18 and
libgal.so.19. It might work in most cases but if you are unlucky there
might be run-time failures in the program (hint: libpng2 <-> libpng3).
As long as only one libgalXY package is in testing at a time this means
that this problem can't occur in testing.
