Which just confirms what I was saying: testing is not broken; all but
a handful of packages in it can all have their dependencies satisfied,
nothing particularly buggy has gone in, etc.

OTOH, there are a lot of debconf related problems: packages that depend on
new versions of debconf haven't had precise enough dependencies, the old
debconf elicits tonnes of perl warnings, and the debconf from December
that people are still using since there hasn't been a later version
that's actually managed to be stable, conflicts with the current apt.

At the moment, debconf 0.9.28 will go into testing with the dinstall
run tomorrow.

Cheers,
aj
