testing security blockers



Long time no report, so here I am again with some analysis of what's
holding 101 security fixes out of testing. The executive summary:
Unsuprisingly, glibc is causing a lot of blockage right now, but
suprisingly the other ongoing transitions are not causing many problems.
ICEs, hppa borkage, s390 needs-requeue, and some mising uploads for arm
are also common. Several fixes have been blocked for a month or more.

asterisk
	blocked by unixodbc which is blocked by several packages that
	are too young to reach testing. Might get unblocked within 4
	days.
centericq
	blocked by glibc which is 5/10 days old and needs to be hinted
	as it's frozen due to producing udebs
cgiwrap
	too young to go in and blocked by glibc
clamav
	too young and blocked by glibc and by gnutls12 which has an RC
	bug
courier
	9/10 days old, missing sparc and ia64 builds
ekg
	1/2 days old, missing hppa build, blocked by glibc
fftw3
	3/10 days old, missing hppa and m68k builds, bocked by glibc
gaim
	0/2 days old, blocked by glibc and xorg-x11, which has RC bugs
	and is also blocked by selinux
	(Note that this is a remote hole)
gedit
	7/10 day old, blocked by glibc, aspell, and gnome
krb5
	28 days old
	FTBFS on m68k due to gcc ICE, needs followup
libphysfs
	27 days old
	needs requeue on s390
metar
	1/10 days old, blocked by glibc
mozilla
	7/10 days old
	has RC bugs, but note that this new version includes 9 security
	fixes
	blocked by glibc by way of xorg-x11
mozilla-firefox
	5/10 days old
	has RC bugs, but this new version fixes 13 holes including
	remote holes
	blocked by glibc by way of xorg-x11
mozilla-thunderbird
	5/10 days old
	blocked by glibc
mysql-dfsg-4.1
	FTBFS
net-snmp
	blocked by perl, which FTBFS on some arches
netdiag
	7/10 day old
	missing m68k build
openmotif
	72 days old
	Non-free package with old buils on several arches that will not
	get rebuilt unless done manually.
	Unfortunatly removing these old builds involves removing
	dependent packages on those arches, unsure if it's time to think
	about doing that yet.

	needs requeue on hppa (or hppa not keeping up)
	blocked by glibc
