 sarge released with 2.8, 2.10 was brought in unstable immediately after
 the release, and numerous things have been and still are preventing the
 final bits to get in.  That's the 2.10 "transition" from unstable to
 testing.  It's still ongoing, with eg. sound-juicer, and some updates
 are stuck such as gnome-games.

 Filing a bug like this is not really helping evolution maintenance, but
 it is a way to document the issues for users.  Sadly, it doesn't make
 things happen faster.
