Both of these are now fixed.

This now has a patch; one of the co-maintainers has a package on
mentors.d.o with a slightly different (and simpler) patch.

No change (x3).

On further inspection, this looks like a good candidate for removal from
testing. The past maintainer upload was nearly three years ago and it's
had five NMUs in the intervening period to fix various FTBFSes.

The new upload has now built everywhere except sparc - that being the
one architecture for which a build fix wasn't included (but not a
regression).

pyxplot and xpad have seen fresh uploads using the virtual package name
introduced by the last imagemagick upload. fluxbox is pending an
upload, which should happen "soon". I've just uploaded an NMU for
qemulator.
