Yes, it makes it obvious that woody's not even remotely releasable at the
moment.

Other problems of some note are:

	* libc6 on sparc doesn't build libncurses correctly

	* perl 5.6 is broken, the latest debconf depends on perl 5.6,
	  and lots of packages in unstable need a later version of
	  debconf than what's in woody/potato; console-{data,tools}
	  in woody is somewhat broken until this is fixed thanks to bad
	  dependencies

Cheers,
