Version 0.6.0-1+b2 looks to be a binary NMU uploaded for the kfreebsd
architectures kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386 only.  All other
architectures have 0.6.0-1+b1.  Your apt-cache policy output shows
that you are using amd64.  For amd64 your currently installed version
0.6.0-1+b1 is the newest available in Sid.

  $ apt-cache policy projectcenter.app
  projectcenter.app:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 0.6.0-1+b1
    Version table:
       0.6.0-1+b1 0
          500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages

Here is an easy reference to show the different versions that are
available and where:

  http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=projectcenter.app

And here:

  http://packages.debian.org/sid/projectcenter.app

And the PTS is generally useful too:

  http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/projectcenter.app.html

For the purposes of your bug report I would ignore all of the
confusion above and continue through the report filing your bug report
against the 0.6.0-1+b1 version that you have installed.  That should
be perfectly fine.
