But aren't these just the packages that you installed from unstable and
which are not (yet) in testing?

PS: I have downgraded from unstable to testing two weeks ago. The biggest

aparently was not downward compatible and the resulting troubles that
packages had afterward with that. I spent about 1.5 days downgrading
3 machines.
