  FWIW a "fixed" gdk-pixbuf will enter lenny soon, and this will likely
break libgtk-perl. If noone with the skills to migrate dfontmgr shows
up, I'll probably end up NMUing defoma to remove the dfontmgr binary
package. I don't think it's a big loss, as I believe the services it
provides are now featured by fontconfig that has common GUIs (and is not
Debian centric which is I think better anyways).

  gdk-pixbuf will enter lenny in 5 days, I'll probably ask for
libgtk-perl removal at that time. The sole other issue is with
libpoe-perl that has a gtk event loop in its available modules, but
that's manageable. (ping Steve ?)
