Hrm, I'm not sure I know what you're talking about then; I'm not aware of
any of those packages being broken.
(There was one day a few days ago when a whole bunch of packages
disappeared from testing, including libc6 for example, so new installs would've
broken because dependencies wouldn't've been available at all; a handful
(maybe twenty or thirty on each arch?) of packages got completely lost, and
got replaced by the version in unstable, possibly without their dependencies
being checked: netpbm and xemacs were particularly affected)
But I don't know of any problems with any of the above packages, beyond
that one day where packages just started going missing; and certainly none
that should've been noticable just by doing apt-get dist-upgrades.
Cheers,
