I was unable to reproduce this bug when it was first filed, but I
definitely believe it to have been fixed as of 1.10-2.  Is anyone
able to reproduce this behavior using version 1.10-2 of e2fsprogs?
I've downgraded from 1.10-2 to 1.06-3 and back without difficulty, but
since I was unable to reproduce the bug initally, it's hard to say for
certain that it is 100% fixed.

I believe that #9255 has been fixed by perlsgml_1996Oct09-5, currently
in 'hamm'.  Perhaps moving perlsgml_1996Oct09-5 to 'bo' would be a
better solution than removing it from the release?

Bug #9258 could also be fixed by moving sgml-data_0.02 from 'hamm' to
'bo'.  Since sgml-data_0.02 appears to have been in 'hamm' for several
weeks with no bug reports, this might be a reasonable option.

If you like, I'd be willing to re-compile the current version of seyon
with fixed dependencies and re-upload it within 12 hours.  Probably
it'd be safer just to remove it, but I wanted the offer to be
available.

The package 'vrweb' should probably be removed from 'bo' anyway, as it
never seems to have worked in the first place.  Would anyone object if
I were to upgrade this to the latest version for 'hamm'?

I'd offer to rebuild the current version of 'j1' as well, but I have
no sympathy for any package that include /usr/bin/j as one of its
binaries.
