No, it's not bogus. It's a result of not having arm binary packages in
unstable. The best solution would be to have ginac built on arm so that these
6 packages are installable on arm again (in unstable) and all can hopefuly
transition smoothly to testing. The other solutions are to not have ginac
transition to testing or to have the arm binary packages of the 6 packages
removed (or being uninstallable) when ginac transitions to testing.
