It means libcfitsio2 depends on something that isn't in testing, so if
you add it into testing it's broken -- one of its dependencies isn't

Later, which ever dependency wasn't present has been added to testing, so
nothing breaks, and it can be accepted...

Yes. The old version of tcpdump doesn't work with the new version of
libpcap, probably the result of a so-name bump.
