Is this a test only issue? Or does one actually depend on the unstable 
version of the other but doesn't declare the *versioned* dependency or 
the other way around, that the unstable version of one *breaks* the 
version in testing? In the latter two cases a *versioned* relation in 
the package is appropriate and will solve the test problem. If it's only 
the first (test issue) and you consider the versioned relation a too big 
hammer to solve the test problem, I can schedule the tests with both 
versions from unstable.
