Oh, I see now indeed.

I didn't completely notice the versions involved in that test.
Indeed I see now it's picking up libmed1v5=4.0.0+repack-1 instead of the
testing version which is what I'd expect…

Right.

Sorry for making useless noise, I'm closing this bug again, and I'm
keeping an eye out as well.
Now that I looked deper I indeed expect to work out by itself once dak
auto-decrufts libmed1v5 away (which should happen in the next few
hours).
