Not quite. For ia32-libs it would be nice if ia32-libs could be blocked
from testing as long as the source packages it includes aren't in
testing. Currently that is solved by building against testing in the
first palce. But that is something we can live with.


As a side note the debian-cd package needs to also consider Built-Using
when creating source images. Will the Sources.gz file list multiple
entries for a source if multiple versions are relevant?
