So? It will get pushed when "the rest it's due", certainly not now
(kdelibs4c2a and its dependencies are not ready).

Or not. (And BTW, testing is a tool for the Release Team to prepare
the next stable release of Debian. This does not mean that users are
not expected to use it, but when they do, they should know that things
like this are expected to happen, the same way uninstallable packages
are expected to happen in sid.)

From http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/hints/vorlon:
# 20051029; done 20051030
# bug #328738
remove kaffeine/0.6-1 kaffeine-mozilla/0.4.3.1-1
In other words, grave bug not acted upon by the maintainer in 6 weeks.

The first step on the road to wisdom is the admission of ignorance. The
second step is realizing that you don't have to blab it to the world.
