That looks about right (plus some -dbg packages). Nothing depends on
libgnustep-base1.16-libffi, or on gnustep-back0.14-* (except for
gnustep-back0.14 itself).

Agreed.

Sounds good.

I have uploded gnustep-base, -gui, and -back to experimental for now. I
have uploaded gnustep-make to unstable because it doesn't
introduce/remove any packages.
