Actually, the list still exists, and is available at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/. Not sure why it doesn't seem to be
listed amongst all the other mailing lists.

Right. There're a few packages that aren't installable in woody. There're
also a number that're out of sync, or that have RC bugs, or whatever. It's
not perfect, and it shouldn't really be expected to be.

FWIW, there're accurate lists of uninstallable packages (which does take into
account versions and conflicts, but ignores recommends and suggests) at
http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/.

Cheers,
aj

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.

The list does exist.  For some reason it wasn't archived anymore, which
I had changed recently.  Check out <http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing-0109/>.
