Good point.

Is the consideration history of a package recorded anywhere?

As an example, take curl[0]. The testing version is 7.9.5-1, released
2002-03-13. Since then, 13 versions have been released. The latest is not
considered since it depends on gcc-3.2, but is there any way to find out why
the previous 12 versions were not considered?
