Please remove phpmyadmin from testing, it hasn't seen an update since 1.5 years and has 5 RC bugs at this point. The 4.6.x series is out of upstream support for quite a while and should not be in a new stable release (916310), it blocks the removal of tcpdf (915470), FTBFSes (917755, 883417) and has issues with current PHP (890595). I guess it wasn't auto-removed as it's considered a key package (I did a simulated dak removal run in testing and there were no blockers). Removing it now seems like the best course of action; if it's actually a key package, people can still step up and upgrade it to 4.8 (which would still be doable for buster). Cheers, Moritz
