I'll take care to be better informed in the future. Best, Gard

I'll take care to be better informed in the future. Well, the new version of the library migrates together with all of the (binNMUed) reverse dependencies and tikzit is definitely one of them. Any sourceful uploads of rdeps reset the age-days and britney (the testing migration script) does not consider it as valid candidate. You can check whether there's an ongoing transition with grep-excuses or the PTS/tracker page of your package. For example, https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/adun.app correctly indicates that adun.app is currently involved in the gnustep-sqlclient transition.
