I think you mean in II. texlive-base-bin as it is not available in testing.
All listed packages still depend on this package non the less,
so they are non-installable in unstable/testing, right?
(most or-depend on tetex-bin, which is gone too).

Fixed by the FixByInstall commit. We will see if it will work out in real
world or comes back and hit us horrible hard into our a… ;)

Depends on libmimedir-gnome-dev which was provided by
libmimedir-gnome0-dev before but this package is now dropped.
Instead libmimedir-gnome-dev is now a real package which is
noticed "too late" by APT. Could be easily worked around by
introducing a dummy package libmimedir-gnome0-dev dropping
the provides. Fixing it in APT looks a bit harder to me as i guess
it would require to answer the question if a virtual or a real package
is preferable in general…

… which seems to be the same culprit as above in reverse.
In my reduced testcase is python-migrate btw scheduled for upgrade,
but python-central python-codespeak-lib python2.5 python2.5-minimal
are removed…
btw Lucas, is your script available somewhere?
