I think it is expected a tester will be unaware.  To test, you enable
updates-testing and install the update.  If you do that, of course you
also pull in any dependencies from updates-testing.  This issue was a
problem of delayed push to stable of updates which are dependencies.
The problem is not as trivial as you might think.
