Well, that means that there are 0 chances to see gcc-4.0 as the default compiler, but I do hope it will be included in sid as soon as possible, as an optional set of packages, much in the same way as gcc-3.0 was in woody! Or are there strong reasons which make it very difficult to have gcc-3.x and gcc-4.x installed on the same machine at the same time? Actually, I do look forward having a usable GNU fortran 90 compiler, as gfortran in gcc-4.x will hopefully become with time...
