Not quite what I meant - I just meant that it would be a good idea to try
and sync everything, which would mean that in the case of some packages
there would be a gap of a few versions while the other dependant packages
catch up. Basically make sure everything links reasonably nicely to the
base gnome packages, then put that batch into unstable, repeat until 1.0.
Cheers
