Eric: please refrain to do such comments. First of all we don't handle the NEW queue and is an issue for all Debian, so it's worthless for you to complain here.
But is is also worthless to make the people think the actual status in unstable is fine or will be fixed soon and encourage people to switch ASAP and accept to do dist-upgrade to get the feature and discover they have to reinstall earlier version and pin their packages.
The hold in new queue was first excused by the release of Jessie thenthe transition argument has been already used to close bug but some packages needed for the transition to succeed seems to have been in the new queue for more than three months. This is no more a transition this is missing installation dependencies like for systemsettings...
So my question is why are the packages still on hold in the new queue and who is working on this?
Also please avoid complaining at bugs not resolved for you.
If you do not report bug, you have no chance to get them fixed. I reported The systemsetting bug while the pacakage was still in experimental, and now other people discover the same bug via unstable push and open new bugs with high priority because their desktop is no more usable/manageable.
