The renaming meant that sawfish (in unstable) was considered a new
package, so the fact that sawmill was in stable didn't help it. sawfish
is a GNOME package and so depends on the entire world, so hang on a
second while I unravel what's going on ...
sawfish is more or less waiting on two things: gnome-libs, and
librep/rep-gtk. I think that the rep stuff mostly just needs a manual
nudge, but it's hard to tell for sure; the new gnome-libs appears to
make libgal-dev uninstallable for some reason, God knows what (although
I have a few ideas). GNOME-related things are almost impossible to get
into testing sometimes. :(
