Hi Steve,

Thank you for the quick turn-around and the explanation.  AIUI, the
binaries you uploaded would not have migrated to testing, but binary
uploads are still permitted for unstable and in some cases are required
- e.g., if the package is NEW.  But that's a topic for a different bug.

Thanks again!
