So this installed libnotify-dev from unstable to satisfy my request,
but this version doesn't actually provide libnotify-dev-gtk2.10 and
therefor doesn't satisfy my request.

Writing a testcase like this:
>>>>>
#!/bin/sh
set -e

TESTDIR=$(readlink -f $(dirname $0))
. $TESTDIR/framework
setupenvironment
configarchitecture "i386"

insertpackage 'stable' 'foo' 'all' '1' 'Provides: foobar'
insertpackage 'unstable' 'foo' 'all' '2' ''

setupaptarchive

aptget install foobar -s
<<<<<

and running it reveals:
[…]
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Package foobar is a virtual package provided by:
  foo 1 [Not candidate version]

E: Package 'foobar' has no installation candidate


So, this seems to be problem which was fixed in the meantime. I am
therefore closing this bugreport, but if it is still reproducible please
reopen!
