It's done now:
control-center | 1:2.2.2-1 | testing | source
The only missing dependencies of gnome-core in testing are now nautilus
and nautilus-media. The former is waiting on gcc-3.3 to be fixed (which
should happen soon) and on whatever's stopping libgsf from building on
m68k; the latter needs gstreamer and gst-plugins to be fixed.
If the KDE maintainers get their ducks in a row, and with a bit of luck,
we should be able to get gnome-pilot back.
