Was there a slip in that description ?

If not:

I think that it is not unusual for the autopkgtest of X (1.0) to
fail when run against the binaries for X (1.1).

Doing that test is not really useful for testing migration; the
testing migration should run the tests from the new X (1.1).

It is probably not worthwhile anyone declaring an explicit version in
the test dependency.
