I intially wondered too about that.
I _think_ that is because the packages depend or pre-depend on libgcc1
which is also provided by gcc-3.3.
In the changelog of a recent gcc-3.2 upload is written:
* On architectures, where gcc-3.3 is built, don't build libgcc1,
libobcj1,
libg2c, libffi2, libgcj-common and libstdc++5 packages.
And for packages compiled before that I think the "problem" may be
that britney sees the libgcc1 als sees that it can be fullfilled (at
least on some archs) by gcc-3.3 too, so it appears there.
This is my explanation, can be wrong, though :)
Regards,
Rene
