Fixed in maintainer update; urgency bumped.

334407 has a request to close the bug at the bottom of the bug log.

334221 has only been filed against 0.1.2-7 and 0.1.2-8.  Can you confirm
that it applies to 0.1.2-6 as well?

Hrm, oddly, gcc-defaults has a chill package pointing at chill-2.95 /
gcc-2.95.  So this package can't be removed until/unless that goes away.

Otherwise, I'd be willing to remove gcc-2.95 at this point, since the only
reverse-build-depends are ccmalloc, plus three packages on two archs that
are not currently release candidates.  The 2.4.27/m68k stuff should be
irrelevant for etch anyway due to dropping of 2.4 support; I'll file an RC
bug on silo.

Hinted.

Has been removed.

Hasn't been reported against the version in testing, no reason to remove
that I see.

The FTBFS isn't even present in unstable anymore, and recursive dependency
disease isn't grounds for removal.  Bug downgraded.

Hinted.

Not a bug that I can reproduce on a clean install, at least, and little
follow-up from the submitter that could explain the source of this failure. 
Not removing at the moment, since I suspect this may be downgradeable.

Lone report, also probably downgradeable.

Fixed in NMU, waiting for emacs21 to build on arm/mips/mipsel before the fix
can progress to testing.  If you show that the bug applies to the version in
etch, I'll remove it, but that version did build successfully on amd64 at
least in the past.

Fixed in maintainer upload; urgency bumped.

Hinted (together with gnuradio-examples).

Bug is downgraded as unreproducible.
