They've been removed from unstable but not yet removed from testing,
because other packages in testing still depend on them. This is a
feature, not a bug: it protects testing from breakage when packages are
removed.
The fact that libplplot9 still depends on libqhull4 rather than
libqhull5 is a bug, though, namely bug #237929.
