many packages held for alpha
With unstable, this happens from time to time. At the moment, I've
got 203 held packages as follows:
apt apt-utils aptitude aptitude-common build-essential cdrdao

Most of the bottleneck seems to be gnome/kde packages and dependencies
on updated compiler/library packages. Approving "apt-get install apt"
would result in the following carnage (packages REMOVED):
akregator evolution evolution-data-server evolution-plugins
evolution-plugins-experimental gdm3 gir1.2-ebook-1.2 gir1.2-ebookcontacts-1.2

On further inspection, there are many kde packages waiting for
4:15.04.3-1 versions to be built -- currently stuck at 4:4.14.2-1.
Michael -- if you've got any insight as to where we left the rails, I'd
be happy to put an extra set of eyes and hands on it as time permits.
Thanks!
