libqt4-dbus : [2020-03-07] Removed 4:4.8.7+dfsg-20 from unstable
what I do not understand - when I check those 3 remaining packages in Debian Package Tracker, there are newer Versions as installed but they are no longer in any repos
[2019-11-12] Accepted phonon 4:4.11.1-3 (source) into unstable - is newer as installed and not removed from unstable yet
[2019-11-12] Accepted phonon 4:4.11.1-3 (source) into unstable - is newer as installed and not removed from unstable yet
[2021-02-05] Accepted phonon-backend-vlc 0.11.2-1 (source) into unstable - is newer as installed and not removed from unstable yet

I think there is no problem to let them go, but why can't they be updated, even though newer versions seems to be available?
