Your setup is specific for a machine running Debian stable, but wanting the most
recent release of Tryton (which makes sense;).

It is unusual to pin unstable higher than testing: you will never get a testing
package installed, if there is one in unstable.

To get the most recent release it is best to install generally with 
apt-get -t unstable install <package-name>

python-vobject is currently in unstable, but will hit testing soon.
