You might like to rephrase that as something like:
* Adding trophy leaves 5 packages uninstallable on alpha
(the new ones are: trophy)

Since trophy depends on some of the packages from the new clanlib,
when it's put into testing without the packages from clanlib, it's
not installable. That's pretty much all there is to it.

No - the count is just for that arch; the difference is that the list
only includes packages that previously were installable. Packages that
weren't installable and still aren't aren't listed, nor are packages
that weren't installable but are now.
