PPS: While David's packages in testing might only require dependencies
from community testing, some of the local build packages of the OP might
require the same dependencies, but of older releases, so installing
David's packages from testing anyway isn't safe, if the OP shouldn't
know the dependency trees of the local packages she has got installed.
