Well, that is not supposed to happen. I checked the MATE uploads, in the past year uploads have been made coherently in unstable. > These things don't necessarily fix themselves in Testing > unfortunately, as the only requirement for a package to enter Testing > from Unstable is a 1-week waiting period, No. Installability is also a requirement, delaying the migration as much as needed. It seems that in the MATE case, they didn't set dependencies to make sure pieces get migrated together, but that's not how it's supposed to happen, and that's to be considered a bug which MATE maintainers are supposed to fix. I'm not saying that things are happening rightly ATM, but saying that things just always go that way in Debian is misleading, it's only MATE maintainers which seemingly don't proceed as they are supposed to.
