Ha! Yes, I suspected as much. Still, I find it disappointing that a
package entering unstable throws my system into dselect hell. It is one
thing, to be expected, that an _unstable_ package is in fact unstable,
but, to me at least, it is quite another to find the packaging
(dependencies, install scripts, etc.) is unstable.
Well, a lesson in patience.
Thank you for the reply, Giacomo.
