So, how this works is that the migration software triggers tests in 
testing, with as little as possible from unstable as allowed by package 
relations. So, if the new fpc from unstable breaks CGE and Lazarus in 
testing, it should declare that via a versioned Breaks.

Having said that, the question that arises than is if this is a test 
failure, or is the breakage real. What would happen if only fpc from 
unstable would migrate to testing, which according to package relations 
is allowed. Would there be breakage in testing? If so, a versioned 
Breaks is needed. If not, and the failure is only in the test, we *can* 
add the Breaks, because it will do the right thing, but we can consider 
it overkill for a test-only problem. Then the Release Team (me) can pull 
some triggers behind the scene.

Agree, it will.

No need to remove stuff from testing.
