| AFAICS, gsl doesn't migrate to testing because:

| - qtiplot isn't built on all architectures, and is waiting on qt4-x11

Well, Gudjon, ball back in your court ?

Someone could do a NMU for snd then.

This is of course recursive, but what are the chances that fftw3 and qt4-x11
migrate? 

Thanks, Dirk
