That's maybe only true for 'leaf' packages in sid.  And anything in
experimental.

But the buildd chroots take packages from sid, so a reverse-dependency
of procps could pick up a dependency on procps >= 1:3.3.10;  then that
package then can't migrate unless procps does too.

And still, if a reverse-dependency FTBFS because of the procps change,
that could delay the transition of some other library.  (And yet more
packages that were waiting on it to migrate).
