Thanks for looking into this.  Have you reviewed the situation about the
other reverse dependencies?  Worst case, they all become unbuildable (or
in embers case, even more broken than it already is).

If the other reverse dependencies work with the new version of cegui-mk2
or their maintainers are happy with fixing them "really soon" (or
getting their package removed from testing), feel free to upload to
unstable.  Otherwise, you are welcome to start with experimental until
the situation improves.
