People have pointed out to me that libfam does not actually export C++
symbols.  I can upload a new version of fam that Provides instead of
Conflicts libfam0c102, which should save a lot of rebuilding for both
KDE and GNOME.  Is this still a useful thing to do?  Or maybe the
release team wants to use fam to hold GNOME back in unstable?

I can make the upload this weekend if people think it is a good idea.
