It is allowed but the testing scripts do not handle it.

There is no package named batick in debian.

The new version is uninstallable, it conflicts: perl (>= 5.8). Afaict
from the rationale in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=221076 and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=167181 this is
intentional and the package should be removed from sarge.
remove libxtm-perl/0.36-1
> snes9express/1.42-1
snes9express depends on snes9-x which is only available on i386 and
powerpc, but snes9express was built on all archs, and is therefore
uninstallable everwhere but on i386 and powerpc.

Broken depends:
# stardict (1.9.92+2.0.0-pre2-3.1 to 2.4.3-1)
* Maintainer: Roy Hiu-yeung Chan
* 50 days old (needed 10 days)
* stardict-tools/alpha unsatisfiable Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4)
* stardict-tools/ia64 unsatisfiable Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4)
* Valid candidate
ia64 and alphac use libc6.1 instead.
Ouch. The package hardcodes this in the diff.gz. RC bug submitted.
