update_output.txt is several orders of magnitude more useful, once you
get the hang of interpreting it.

"Out of date" means only that it's newer in unstable than in testing. If
you see the above, it almost certainly means the package is waiting for
dependencies.

Not directly. Unless the build-dependencies can't even be satisfied in
unstable, testing doesn't care (and even then it only cares if people
report RC bugs about it).
sawfish can't be installed in testing because unstable's sawfish-gnome
is uninstallable in testing, waiting on newer versions of gnome-libs and
control-center. Upgrading control-center seems to make lots of stuff
uninstallable, probably because it needs newer gnome-libs too;
gnome-libs had an RC bug, recently closed, and will need to wait for the
current version to be autobuilt.
I'm glad to see that the most recent version of gnome-libs has relaxed
its shlibdeps to something other than the most absolutely current
version. This should help matters a lot.
