  The continuum structure of the unbound system $^{10}$Li, inferred from the
$^{9}$Li$(d,p)^{10}$Li transfer reaction, is reexamined. Experimental data for
this reaction, measured at two different energies, are analyzed with the same
reaction framework and structure models. It is shown that the seemingly
different features observed in the measured excitation energy spectra can be
understood as due to the different incident energy and angular range covered by
the two experiments. The present results support the persistence of the $N=7$
parity inversion beyond the neutron dripline as well as the splitting of the
well-known low-lying $p$-wave resonance. Furthermore, they provide indirect
evidence that most of the $\ell=2$ single-particle strength, including possible
$d_{5/2}$ resonances, lies at relatively high excitations energies.
