We're in the middle of a transition to new versions of several
libraries; version skew is causing problems. 

main-menu was broken well over 24 hours ago, the fix missed dinstall
yesterday, which is understandable. It then missed dinstall today, which
boggles my mind. Depending on timing (dunno), the daily image builds may
remain broken for more than another full day.

We should be able to do much better than this. When someone fixes
something, a quick post explaining what it is that's broken would be
nice. So would making it a priority to get a fix into the archive. I
found main-menu fixed in cvs, with the fix committed a full *18* hours
ago (and maybe more like 30). Why was this not uploaded immediatly?
FWIW, I have uploaded it, and this plus possibly a missing versioned
build dependency in build/debian/control seem to have things working
again.

People, try to understand, we have a fixed number of days until release,
and we just effectively wasted two of them. I'm sure tens of developer
hours were wasted, plus how ever many testers get broken images.

Committing a fix to cvs is only half the job. Please follow through in
the future.
