>From https://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals#Removals_from_testing.2 C_stable_and_oldstable : <quote> Note that in most cases it is unnecessary to request removal of your package from both testing and unstable. Once the package is removed from unstable, it will automatically be removed from testing once there are no dependencies keeping it there. If you do need the package simultaneously removed from both distributions, you will need to file a removal bug for unstable as usual, and contact the Release Managers to request removal from testing. </quote> I'm assuming that there's no desperate need for the testing removal to be expedited, so starting with unstable and letting things take their natural course is the correct approach; re-reassigning.
