On the other hand, libnauty2-dev Provides libnauty-dev, which may be also provided by libnauty3-dev and so forth: my guess is that it would be more appropriate that the latest concrete package that Provides a virtual package. Otherwise, it appears that libtestu01-dev, also a virtual package, is not yet present in the mathematics-dev task page after a couple of updates.
