Fwd: apt-get dist-upgrade will remove metapackages



Is the release team aware of this issue?
Will migration to testing of the new vim be blocked automatically until 
this is solved?

Cheers,

Subject: apt-get dist-upgrade will remove metapackages

The last couple of days I have not been able to complete an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" on my "sid" system, because it warns me that it will remove
metapackages kde and kdeaddons.  It looks to me as if the problem is
 caused by the newest version of the "vim" packages (1:6.3-068+4):  the
 changelog contains:


     + Removed all kvim related packages, the code is no longer
 maintained. Sorry. (closes: #234455, #237385, #283765, #293110, #194449,
 #205586, #266431, #272621, #294848, #245006, #194964)

The dependency sequence

  kde to kdeaddons to vimpart to kvim

is thus broken.

To me it looks as if kde metapackage is now uninstallable in "sid" which
 is really a pretty serious problem.  Or is there some kind of
 work-around that will satisfy the dependency sequence in some other way?

thanks in advance
