If one uses unstable he should inform himself about important changes,
like by reading debian-devel-announce (which is quite low traffic).
There is currently the C++ ABI transition, which means that all packages
with source written in C++ need to be recompiled with g++-4.0. Until
this happens sid is quite broken. There is not yet any estimate when
this will be completed (when the fancy graph[1] drops). Statistics about
which packages still need to be recompiled with g++-4.0 are
available[2].

Testing would help against these problems as C++ packages currently do
not enter it as far as I know.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
