I realise the above mail was only sent yesterday, but the libkpathsea
transition's been going on for well over a month now and coincides with
other transitions we'd like to start.  I've therefore removed most the
listed packages from testing with tonight's britney run; all of the
issues listed already affect the packages in unstable.  If you need any
help to get the packages back in to testing once they're fixed, please
let us know.

scalable-cyrfonts couldn't be removed as one of its binary packages is
depended on by task-cyrillic-desktop.  I've broken the -tex binary
package temporarily to get things done, but that'll either need fixing
or removing.
