Ok let me see:
- clive was broken and is expected to the same version in squeeze too.
- duplicity wasn't allowed, the maintainer was just not able to read the
docs.
- kvm can be ignored, I'll remove the source package soon. Nowadays this is
coming from qemu-kvm
- libdatetime-format-flexible-perl, dunno - I'll ask myon. (Cced)
- libdatetimex-easy-perl - same
Thats all.
