nel is an orphaned library with no reverse dependencies and an RC bug. Lubos
Novak and Michal Cihas have apparently done some work on updating to the latest
upstream version, so hopefully if it stays in unstable the situation can
improve, but I don't think there's any point in having it released in squeeze
unless/until this happens.
This would also allow stlport5.2 to be removed from testing; there's no
particularly compelling reason why it needs to go, but it's under RFA, has no
other reverse dependencies, and its WNPP bug,
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544035>, suggests removing
it. The updated nel version mentioned in the nel WNPP bug appears to no longer
use stlport.
(nel and stlport5.2 maintainers, people involved in the nel WNPP bug, and
previous nel sponsor Cc'd.)

Simon
