Does it, really? Or does it simply have binary dependencies to an unstable
version of B, imposed by B? If one version of A and B has been accepted in
testing, chances are pretty good that the next version of A will compile and
work fine against that old version of B. Most new versions are fixes, either
of bugs or features. Changes that break source level compatibility are rather
rare.
