Yes, someone else pointed this out to me.  So you didn't have to special
case it, and wouldn't have needed to even if I hadn't downgraded the
bug?

In that case I am confused about two things:

1) why such things are reported as "excuses" for a package not being
   considered when they won't stop a package from being considered;
2) why "valid candidate" wasn't appearing in the output; I interpreted
   the absence of "valid candidate" to mean that the package would not
   be moving to testing

If you could help me understand these things I sure would appreciate it.
