"No part of Debian"? Where did you read from that?

***
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=boinc

- boinc has no old version in testing (trying to add, not update)
- boinc is waiting for fglrx-driver
        fglrx-driver is only 5 days old. It must be 10 days old to go in. 
***

It seems there's a dependency issue with one VGA driver though it makes 
no sense... why BOINC depends on a "non-free" package? >:-?
