Your symptoms describe a missing *versioned* Depends/Breaks or test
dependency. The migration software tries run tests with the minimum
changes. So, if nothing makes sure that the version from unstable is
needed, it will run with as much packages as possible from testing. What
we see in the logs is that it installs the test suite from testing.
Then, the test dependencies are installed and apt-get reports that it
can't install the required packages. It then falls back to enable
everything from unstable and then installation is possible.

Do you confirm that the issue is only in the test? I think we can ignore
this issue then (or better, trigger the test manually with ocaml-cairo2
from unstable. With the description above, do you understand why the
relations in the packages don't teach our migration software what to do?
