Yes, upgrading packages must work. And especially between versions in
testing (which will become relevant if 8.13.11+dfsg-4 migrates to
testing). And later on from stable to stable-pu (in case you need to
apply fixes after the release).

What else would you want to do with a gitlab installation in testing if
upgrading does not work?
