britney only considers installability, not buildability. That is to say, if package A depends on "B (>= 2)" then an appropriate version of B must (in the absence of hints to the contrary) exist in testing, but if A /build/-depends on "B (>= 2)" then britney does not care whether B exists in testing at all, yet alone with the correct version.
