Ah, two. :-P

So britney still ignores Build-Depends? Otherwise subversion is clogged
behind swig1.3 and pike7.6, which would be really no good.

Except that the KDE transition is now delayed by it. As I noted, a very
large number of KDE-dependenct packages -- most of which are otherwise
ready to go -- have the overly strict dependency on new libpng, including
kdesdk, which is not a good removal candidate.

Yeah, so libpng first. :-)
Either libpng will have to go in first, or there will have to be lots of
binNMUs or other new KDE uploads, or a lot of packages will have to be
removed or made uninstallable. I don't know which, but I'm quite sure it
will be one of the above.

I ache for KDE to get in. ;-) Sigh.

I've identified some KDE tie-ins in other messages which will have to be
dealt with. With your current hint, britney will identify a bunch of
flac-dependent packages, the icu-dependent packages, and probably a few
other clusters which I've already identified. I'm not sure what the point
of running a hint known to be insufficient is, so I suggest you add those
known tree roots to the same hint.
There's so much in the pile that temporarily removing a few leaf packages to
let the block in is not a bad idea though.

Sensible.
