Basically, we are waiting for the release team's approval to upload the
new version to unstable. Because there cannot be any packages that are
not built by any source, the new liblo (package name liblo7) cannot
migrate into testing until all the applications that use liblo
(depending on package liblo0ldbl) are ready to migrate too, so that the
old liblo package can be removed at the same time. This process gets
complicated if several libraries are transitioning, since they may get
entangled.
