Why?
So this libc-bin-dbgsym has no relation with dwarves? Than I guess it will work as you can always install the version from testing and no relation will pull in the version from unstable. If that's the case, just close the bug again. Otherwise, skip-not-installable *on top of* other improvements will just mean that *if* any package is unsatisfiable than the test is marked as skipped and as such adds a neutral result to the final outcome.
