The point of the hint in question is to get an unclouded look at *what* is
still missing in order to get this batch in.

That isn't going to happen until after we confirm that the breakage of
packages from the hint is both acceptable, and necessary.

severity raised on bug #333432.

new php4 is RC-buggy... new bug, #334823.

Right, this one looks good; hint added.

A couple of the other hints you listed have already been run, or nearly so.
