All I know is e.g., with perl this bug would never happen.

# apt-cache policy perl
perl:
  Installed: 5.28.1-6
  Candidate: 5.30.0-1
  Version table:
     5.30.0-1 990
        990 http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/debian experimental/main amd64 
Packages
 *** 5.28.1-6 500
        500 http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

That's because the perl team have got the dependencies all correct so
that apt(itude) won't let me upgrade it yet until all the pieces are
ready!
