For testing migration, it doesn't matter if a old version of it is in
sarge or not. If it is not built on all archs in unstable, it does not
go in[1]. So, to achive this goal, the outdated version in unstable
needs to be removed. However, removing outdated binaries happens only
if the package does not work on that archs any more, and also then
only by ftp-masters.
So, removing a package from testing does not help at all its
propagation back into testing. (This seems to be a common
misunderstanding about how britney works.)
Cheers,
Andi
