You are trying to install a package from stable using testing to solve it's 
dependencies, that's not going to work. This is not a policy issue (also, 7.2 
is not about archive consistency, afaik).

gammaray was removed from testing, almost a year ago, as part of a qt 
transition. The later uploads haven't build in all the required arches 
needed to migrate from unstable to testing again.

That's working as intended, the gammaray in stable was built against qt 5.3.2, 
and as gammaray uses internal qt parts it will only work with the specific qt 
version it was built against.

If you just want to install gammaray, you can use the version currently in 
unstable. If you want to help gammaray so it's in testing again, please 
consider trying to fix build failures in arm,armhf,mips,mips64el or requesting 
the maintainer to drop gammaray from those architectures.

Happy hacking,
