I did not intend to blame this on the Gnome maintainers, I just hoped
you were accustomed to the problem and could give a hint.

Iirc I read something about the fact that this might change. (or did it
only talk about keeping library versions in testing?)
On a sidenote: Is the strict dependency in libbonoboui really needed?
Would something like
- Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libbonoboui2-common (= ${source:Version})
+ Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libbonoboui2-common (<= ${source:Version}), libbonoboui2-common (<< ${source:Upstream-Version}-z)
work? Just asking, I do not know how tight the connection is.

I probably would, if I had an ARM machine. However I don't and do not think
asking debian-admin to install the b-d is going to help, as they are
uninstallable.
Thanks for your comments, cu andreas
