It seems Britney will happily remove from testing any binary package taken over
in sid by another source package when its initial source package is removed or
updated, instead of waiting for the new version of the package to be ready. I'm
wondering whether this is an expected behavior of Britney.
For instance, package proftpd-mod-geoip was removed from testing together with
its source package on July 1, while the new version of the package build from
the source package proftpd-dfsg is still stuck in sid.
Likewise, libcolord-gtk-dev and libcolord-gtk1 were removing from testing when
the source package colord was updated on July 6; a new version of these
packages were put back in testing the next day together with their new source
package colord-gtk.
Finally, ulogd and other packages from the source package ulogd were removed
from testing on July 7, while transitional dummy packages of the same names
remained in sid until July 15 together with the new source package ulogd2.

Is this actually causing any practical problems, rather than "seeming
the wrong thing to do"?
I've now stumbled upon this bug report multiple times and each time I
think it's not worth fixing even if we could agree on the right
behavior. If there are no reverse dependencies, I think it's not that
bad if a package would temporarily disappear from testing in cases like
this one.
Don't hesitate to reopen this bug if there are arguments not mentioned
in the bug report worth considering.
