That doesn't make sense. gnat-4.9 in unstable has build-dependencies
which can be satisfied in unstable. gnat-4.9 in testing has
build-dependencies which can be satisfied in testing.

Why would the build-dependency gcc-4.9-source (<< 4.9.2) in gnat-4.9 in
*testing* be relevant when checked in unstable?

gnat-4.9 in testing does build just fine, in testing, so the bug title
is - at least - inaccurate. There is no FTBFS in gnat-4.9 4.9.1-4
unless trying to build in unstable - which is unnecessary because
Policy doesn't require that packages in testing build in unstable - it
does that the packages in testing build in testing. In my tests, that
requirement is met.

What is the actual purpose of this bug? Why is a build-dependency
constraint in testing relevant to builds in unstable? It's not as if
gnat-4.9 is about to migrate into testing, even then the new version
would migrate with the constraints met.
