Yes, a binutils bug that required a rebuild of libbuffy; buffy is in
dep-wait on the new libbuffy-dev.

Should have already been queued for rebuild against the new
libtagcoll-dev... dunno why it wasn't, but done now.

It only needs an updated version of gtk+2.0 in testing, which should be set
to happen soon.  (339419 looks like an overinflated severity, and is the
only blocker AFAICS.)

... or remove apt-move/4.2.24-1 dfsbuild/0.6.21.

All existing britney hints are source-only.  That actually means we'll be in
for some fun if we ever break multiple packages on an arch that can't be
updated serially.

Not an issue in this case.  More of an issue if we decide not to wait for
hppa to catch up with KDE.
